Public bug reported: I'd like to be able to move ~/.recently-used.xbel to ~/Private. I tried doing this with a symlink, but it is overwritten.
Steps to reproduce: 1. touch ~/Private/.recently-used.xbel 2. rm ~/.recently-used.xbel 3. cd ; ln -s Private/.recently-used.xbel 4. gedit 5. Open some file. 6. Close gedit. Actual results: ~/.recently-used.xbel is a file and no longer a symlink. The data has been written to ~. Expected results: ~/.recently-used.xbel would still be a symlink and the data would've been written to ~/Private/.recently-used.xbel. Does this happen every time? Yes. Other information: If there is some other way to redirect this filename, please let me know. If there were some way to set a "filename" GObject property on every GtkRecentManager when it's created, that seems like it should work, based on the code. Otherwise, I'll upload a patch which makes this honor symlinks. To add this to the package, you'd just need to put it in debian/patches and add it to debian/patches/series. (I used 099 as the patch number, but I have no idea what the correct number should be.)
