This is an effort on my part to find a way to make the efm symlink  
error repeatable for anyone. This test was run on a Lenovo T430 Intel  
I5 laptop with NVIDIA NVS 5400M Graphics enabled. As far as I know, as  
of this writting only one other person has reported seeing this issue.  
I'm not overly concerned about the issue, it's easy to work around.  
But, if someone thinks there might be a serious problem here then this  
may be a way to at least see it happen.

efm in e 17.1 (all display options enabled)

Fresh install of Ubuntu 12.10 in Virtualbox
Fresh install of E 17.1 from efl ppa (composite enabled with openGL)

Remove /home/username/Documents
Create /mnt/Documents with owner/group as username
Create /mnt/Test with owner/group as username

Symlink /mnt/Documents to /home/username/Documents
Symlink /mnt/Documents to /home/username/Desktop/Documents

Symlink /mnt/Test to /home/username/Test
Symlink /mnt/Test to /home/username/Desktop/Test

Symlink /mnt/Test to /opt/Test

Via the Navigate menu item or efm's side bar open Home in efm
Double click on Documents
    error "/home/username/Documents doesn't exit"
Double click on Test
    error "/home/username/Test doesn't exit"

Via the Navigate menu item or efm's side bar open Desktop in efm
Double click on Documents
    error "/home/username/Desktop/Documents doesn't exit"
Double click on Test
    error "/home/username/Desktop/Test doesn't exit"

    
*** NOTES: In either of the above cases if I navigate to the directory  
with the symlink in it by using the emf's toolbar instead of efm's  
sidebar then the symlinks work and the linked directory opens fine.  
Also if I right click on the symlink and choose "Open" the symlinked  
directory works fine. Additionally, if I Navigate to GTK  
Bookmarks/Documents the symlinked dir opens fine.


Lastly I navigate to the root directory and drag /opt to efm's side bar.

Via efm's side bar I open /opt
Double click on Test
    No error, Test opens fine.
