 When selecting a program in the Change Action dialog

 this application:-Change...) is symbolic links translated to the
 real file. This is very bad as wrappers might have different behavior
 depending on the name of the symbolic link. In my case can't I use
 32-bit apps from a chroot under amd64 as helpers due to this problem.
