Yeah, but when they open a file selection dialog, they will expect to
see exactly what they see in their file manager. That's what I'm a bit
worried about.

When applying POLA, at least they will not be able to browser their full
$HOME  within any application, maybe they won't see the same content
within two different applications. That is where we must be careful to
give hints to the user about what is happening.

Pedagogically,
Nowhere man
