Absolute filenames = BAD

• wallpaper = /tmp/sabayon-tmp-home-12345/blah.jpg

• “Cannot find /home/johnny/blah.jpg”

• g_make_home_relative_filename (abs_filename); g_make_absolute_filename (rel_filename); Modify all the apps! Easy to move your $HOME anyway.

• Make Sabayon do the filename munging/unmunging Apps are blissfully unaware! Unreliable!
