[SOLVED] uzbl - unable to start event manager

I think I messed up some permissions somewhere and just need a nudge in the right direction because I'm not too sure what exactly is the issue.
starting uzbl-browser as a normal user yields:

uzbl-event-manager: will auto close.
uzbl-event-manager: starting event manager.
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/uzbl-event-manager", line 849, in <module>
    DAEMON_ACTIONS[ACTION]()
  File "/usr/bin/uzbl-event-manager", line 721, in start_action
    UzblEventDaemon().run()
  File "/usr/bin/uzbl-event-manager", line 529, in __init__
    make_pid_file(CONFIG['pid_file'])
  File "/usr/bin/uzbl-event-manager", line 226, in make_pid_file
    fileobj = open(pid_file, 'w')
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/kuno/.cache/uzbl/event_daemon.pid'

** (uzbl-core:31862): WARNING **: Error connecting to socket: /home/kuno/.cache/uzbl/event_daemon

while sudo uzbl-browser gives me a workable browser:

uzbl-event-manager: will auto close.
uzbl-event-manager: starting event manager.

 'cmd_expand.py': '/usr/share/uzbl/examples/data/plugins',

 'progress_bar.py': '/usr/share/uzbl/examples/data/plugins'}
uzbl-event-manager: listening on: /home/kuno/.cache/uzbl/event_daemon
uzbl-event-manager: entering daemon mode.

thus I assume this is a permissions issue, but how would I go about resolving this?

Re: [SOLVED] uzbl - unable to start event manager

Assuming your user name is kuno and only .cache is messed up

sudo chown -R kuno:users ~/.cache

You may want to use "ls -al" in your home folder and look for other things not owned by you (3rd/4th column, 4th should be "users").

Edit: Oops, I forgot it too roll
