Comment:
Whether it's the correct behavior or not, this is a big concern for
usability.
If launched from a gnome desktop shortcut, the app gives no indication
that there's a problem and doesn't even terminate. There should at least
be a dialog box that the user must dismiss. Flag this ticket as an
enchancement or retitle it, perhaps?
Also, I don't understand how disallowing intermediate links to the .pulse
directory makes anything more secure, but then I certainly don't have
anything close to the whole picture. I'll just have to take your word on
it, unless you'd care to explain?
