It's usually user-written files that a user will keep on tweaking. Other things installed as root probably only need some initial customisation (e.g. adding your own search engine), and occasional tweaking, so it's not such an annoyance to "su -" for them. If one plays with blogs, etc., through an interface, *that* *interface* should be handling correct ownership and permissions. -- (This computer runs FC7, my others run FC4, FC5 & FC6, in case that's important to the thread.)
