            Bug ID: 286699
           Summary: x11-fm/dolphin: does not work correctly if home
                    directory is a symlink (regression from kde5)
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)
          Assignee: kde at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: d8zNeCFG at aon.at
          Assignee: kde at FreeBSD.org
             Flags: maintainer-feedback?(kde at FreeBSD.org)

Scenario:
- FreeBSD stable/14
- latest ports
- $HOME is /users/martin
- /users/martin is a symlink to the actual home directory

Result:
- If, in dolphin's settings, the default location is set to "/users/martin", an
error message pops up: "The location for the home folder is invalid or does not
exist, it will not be applied."
- Entering the real home dir is o.k., but this is different from $HOME.

Expected result:
- Just as with kde5, having a symlink as $HOME should be working.

Note:
- There is another issue in that dolphin does not show thumbnails anymore (and
yes I know how to turn them on and off, and configure the file types for which
they should be shown). I suspect that the underlying cause might also be this
misbehavior when $HOME is a symlink.
- There was also bug 285244.
