Bug 279165

Version:           4.6 (using KDE 4.6.2) 
OS:                Linux

File permissions are reported incorrectly to Qt.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This code always says that the file (or directory) is writable. filename was /tmp/ro/someFile which did not exist yet, /tmp/ro was r-xr-xr-x. QFile::open returned true as well.

    QFile outFile(filename);
    if (QFileInfo(outFile).isWritable()) {
        qDebug() << "Can write file.";
    } else {
        qDebug() << "Cannot write file.";
    }
    if (QFileInfo(QFileInfo(outFile).absolutePath()).isWritable()) {
        qDebug() << "Can write directory.";
    } else {
        qDebug() << "Cannot write directory.";
    }
    qDebug() << "File permissions: " << outFile.permissions();
    qDebug() << "Directory permissions: " << QFile(QFileInfo(outFile).absolutePath()).permissions();
    if (QFile(QFileInfo(outFile).absolutePath()).permissions() & QFile::WriteUser) {
        qDebug() << "Can write directory.";
    } else {
        qDebug() << "Cannot write directory.";
    }
    if (!outFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly)) {
        qDebug() << "Cannot write file " << filename;
        Q_ASSERT(false);
    }

#qt on freenode also suspected that this is the problem for file dialogs to not switch into directories with QFileDialog::setDirectory() but changing into the parent directory and selecting the directory it is assumed to change into.

Actual Results:  
r-xr-xr-x directory is reported as writable.

Expected Results:  
There is no w in r-xr-xr-x, so it is NOT writable! Really!
