 > Why did you attach a full post.php rather than a .diff? Also you fix
 trashes permissions (sort of). I don't see this going anywhere for a
 while, no matter how annoying it may be (a real fix requires some
 rethinking of the permission system for pages, and I don't see that making
 3.0).

 Thanks @bsamrajni.  I did find the whole post.php file useful as I could
 just apply it to my site directly.

 @mtekk is right though - when you list posts / pages after putting your
 fix in, it displays all the draft ones as well, even when you're not
 logged in.  On top of that it only works for draft and not private pages.

 However it does provide a useful work around, until a correct fix is
 found.  You can use the exclude pages [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins
 /exclude-pages/] or set the pages to be private to exclude them.
