Comment 5 for bug 120563

(FWIW, the above issue I described _is_ still a bug, just not likely related to this one; I don't know where I should submit it, but if someone here does it would be good to do so. Invoking the bug is simple: Just move your home directory to a new location. It's not something people do often, so is a fairly low priority bug, but nonetheless one should never be left unable to log in. The bug seems to be due to various(?) applications caching full paths, which become invalid when the home directory has moved. A symlink from the old to the new "fixes" the problem.)
