Title:
  Empathy doesn't remember favorites, chat logs when ~/.local is a
  symlink

Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  After upgrading to Oneiric, all of my Empathy favorites have been
  forgotten. Setting them again doesn't survive a logout/login cycle.

  I now think this may be due to the fact that I keep my
  /home/jay/.local directory as a symlink to /var/jay/.local on my SSD
  (and the same with ~/.cache). This didn't used to be a problem in
  Natty, so I don't know what changed.

  syslog shows these messages when I try to add a favorite or when i
  send/receive a message, respectively:

  audit(1319760596.740:443): apparmor="DENIED" operation="open" parent=1
  profile="/usr/lib/telepathy/telepathy-*" name="/var/jay/.local/share
  /telepathy-logger/favourite-contacts.txt" pid=8346 comm="telepathy-
  logge" requested_mask="wc" denied_mask="wc" fsuid=1000 ouid=1000

  pid=5324 comm="telepathy-logge" requested_mask="c" denied_mask="c"
  fsuid=1000 ouid=1000

  I changed some permissions on the folders in /var/jay/.local (and
  applied to sub-folders, probably an awful idea) and the problem
  remained.

  I adapted the instructions from this comment:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/telepathy-mission-
  control-5/+bug/816554/comments/4

  adding "owner /var/jay/.local/share/telepathy*/ rw," and the like to
  my /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.telepathy file, then running:

  sudo apparmor_parser -r /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.telepathy

  Empathy is now successfully saving logs, even though
  @{HOME}/.local/share/telepathy*/ is a symlink to
  /var/jay/.local/share/telepathy*/

  Is it the symlinking that is causing this problem? I assume that it
  is. Why does apparmor balk at this symlink?
