--- Comment #3 from Russell Haley <yumpusamongus+kde at gmail.com> ---
The "fix" has created the opposite problem -- the bookmarks.xml file has
absolute paths in it, which I discovered with a precautionary recursive grep
before re-aiming a symlink to a new mount point. These would've broken had I
not found them.

IMO, looking "behind" symlinks is not something applications should do except
to avoid loops or protect users from themselves, such as a text editor unsaved
modifications to open files.  Resolving and storing absolute paths like this
seems to defeat the intent of the user/admin who created the symlink.  Do I
need to start bind mounting instead?
