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):

while sudo uzbl-browser gives me a workable browser:

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

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
