I decided to move parts of my home directory to a partition where it
would be easy to keep things that I would like to have common to
multiple distributions. I mount that partition as /share. On that
partition I have /share/home/myUser/Pictures (among other directories
like Music and such). I deleted the empty directory ~/Pictures and
created a link ~/Pictures pointing to /share/home/myUser/Pictures. I
don't have any problem, until I finally discovered one. Everything
works as expected (like when I click on the Gnome menu bar Places =>
Pictures) except the screensaver.
I had the screensaver set to show fotos from ~/Pictures, and it *used
to* work. But now it doesn't. It's been a while since I had the
screensaver turned on, so other things I have done may be to blame, but
my suspicion is what I described above.
Could anyone point me in the right direction? TIA
Preferably, I shouldn't have to settle for a link *inside* the actual
~/Pictures directory pointing to the other place (which *did* work).
Everything else seems to be happy with replacing the ~/Pictures
directory with a link to the other place. Why not the screensaver?
