That's my fear. This is compounded by the fact that Ubuntu won't let me log in as root to change the ownerships. I can only sudo as regular user -- which means that my regular user account must be working. :-P
I got it working for Firefox because the group 'users' is 100 on both distros, and that is enough for Firefox.
Now, if I can do the same thing with documents and with sharing the mail directory.
