I like this design and - quoting Waldo - would say: "I don't think it is
that bad, it's comparable to the color dialog where you have a line-edit
for "#552066" colors."
In fact the similarity of this field with the line-edit on the colors
dialog makes it quite hard /not/ to become interested in how this might
work: many people are used to think in RRGGBB when defining a (HTML-)color
so I expect that normal human curiosity will make several users ask how
this might work for the file permissions.
Having the checkboxes means one can try setting them checked/unchecked and
seeing the corresponding digit change back and forth...
Therefor I opt for using this approach and adding this line-edit to the
existing dialog.
