I know how to set permissions correctly, in fact I've already done that. That is not the issue here.
Ubuntu is showing me an icon on my desktop for my NTFS partition, and by default I cannot open it because the permissions are root only! Fixing the permissions in /etc/fstab is easy enough for more experienced Linux users, but my bug report is here to highlight the fact that Ubuntu is giving the user a shortcut to a partition that is unaccesible. That, IMO is a bug.
