yeah, I gave you this idea. ;) It has some problems, as LMD tried to
source ~/.LMD/options (in line 5) before this piece of source. Also,
why call "lmd -reconf" instead "lmd -reconf"? - not one of my
brightest idea.

You did not understand. If we are talking about same issue, the
problem is not a user permission related.

See below the output I get when ~/.LMD doesn't exist and I run
/usr/bin/lmd, installed with your package. This will happen only once,
as in the second time ~/.LMD was already created:

$ lmd
/usr/bin/lmd: line 5: /home/rafael/.LMD/options: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/lmd: line 6: source: /usr/share/lmd/langs/: is a directory
/usr/bin/lmd: line 5: /home/rafael/.LMD/options: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/lmd: line 6: source: /usr/share/lmd/langs/: is a directory
-reconf
completed

** (gtkdialog:12958): ERROR **: gtkdialog: Error in line 23, near
token '</label>': syntax error

/usr/bin/lmd: line 346: 12958 Trace/breakpoint trap   gtkdialog
--program=MAIN_DIALOG


Solution to this issue is: replace 'sed' code you mentioned above with
the patch I sent to the upstream [1] along with this line:  patch -p1
"${pkgdir}"/usr/bin/lmd lmd-run-reconf.patch
