The period that proceeds the filename is to indicate that it is to be
hidden during normal browsing- for settings etc. This hiding isn't due
to any attributes (as far as I'm aware). To view these files you just
have to overwrite the behaviour of the file browsing application you are
using. For instance, if you are at a console you're probably using 'ls'.

files.
In graphical interfaces such as Konqueror there are settings that
achieve the same effect.
