file permission problem in RC live-isos

Some system files in the RC live iso are owned by user (devuan) instead of root. If you install from the live iso, it gets carried over to the installation.

Simple fix:

chown -R root:root /etc/xdg/xfce4

-
# Do not recurse:

chown root:root /etc/xdg
chown root:root /etc

-

chown -R root:root /usr/share/slim/themes/devuan-curve-purpy

-
# Do not recurse:

chown root:root /usr/share/slim/themes
chown root:root /usr/share
chown root:root /usr
chown root:root /home
