Yes of course I was only talking GUIs.
But for GUIs what I said would be nice. Maybe some kind of apparmor-like
thing with profiles for all standard applications and a default for unknown
applications with access to no files.
Then when an application tries to access a file it doesn't have access to
the user is presented with a not too disturbing popup asking the user to
grant/not grant access once/from now on to that file. Wouldn't that be cool?

That sounds interesting for sure. Not sure how it would fit into the
BeOS/Haiku philosophy though. As long as in general it isn't annoying
or overly complicated.

But I guess that's pretty off topic. :P

This whole thread is probably more suited to the Glass Elevator list
where the future of Haiku past R1 is discussed.
