I agree, so I went to gnome and followed your
instructions and hit 75 items but no symlinks. Checked
all 75 files and saw nothing even suspicious.
Remembered about symlinks program and installed it and
also symlinkprops, a symlink editor for konqueror,
looking for something to find broken links but
couldn't figure out how. Couldn't get symlinkprops to
show in konqueror. thought symlink found broken
packages but didn't see any. Sorry, but no luck. Tried
mc; no luck. There was a file manager program that
list broken symlinks but don't remember the name;
thought it might be mc.
