I use an intermediate layer of links as follows: 1. Create a directory called "/links/" or "/var/links/" 2. In the "links" directory, create symlinks to the actual locations. 3. In people's home directories, have links pointing to the symlink in the links directory.
Good idea. Even on my single-user machine, I tend to have a link on the desktop, buried in a menu somewhere, and on a panel. I might do this.
