Using /opt for 'optional' software is something that I have always done and as you have mentioned it should not make any difference. I have done an 'ls -l' on /opt/geany/share/geany/geany.glade and it returns the following:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 607K Aug 2 16:08 /opt/geany/share/geany/geany.glade

which should be readable to me as my account would get the 'other' access permission which is 'r'.

Odd thing is that when I install the distribution version of geany it fails with the same problem and the distribution version installs it to /usr.
