With the rule that every user has his own primary group (as it is default), this is sufficient for my needs. I haven't tested every application but at least konqueror seems to respect this setting. If I can avoid the usage of acls with a few global settings, I'm willing to do so. The prospect of having two levels of filesystem permissions, each only visible with different, dedicated tools, cause me headaches. ;)
