--- Comment #2 from alexxcons <alexxcons at xfce.org> ---

At least for local file systems, "rm "needs only write+execute permission on
the parent directory. The permissions of the file itself are irrelevant.

Here more details:

This will neither work with thunar, nor with BASH, mc, xfe, ...

Do you use some kind of exotic file-system locally ?

On NFS I have to test .. will do so later on.
