Thank you. I missed it very much.

I suppose a scrolled GtkTreeView with GtkListStore with:

STRING, STRING, BOOL, BOOL, BOOL
name, user/group, r, w , x

And for directories two Tree views: for normal and default ACLs.
The upper the normal, the lower the default.

Below each treeview on the right two buttons: Add and Delete.

For filesystems without ACLs the buttons should bu just inactive, and
also for directories should only the upper treeview be shown (normal
permissions).

After clicking Add, user should get a dialog with two lists: groups and
users to be able to select one, and two buttons below: Add, Cancel.
After a user or group is selected and Add is clicked it should be added
to the ACLs list with no permissions at the beginning. 


And the bottom or at the top of the permissions tab three checkboxes in
one line:
x sticky, x suid, x sgid
