 Steps:
 - open e.g. Haiku-menu > Applications
 - in the "shine through" folder that opens, select an app, e.g.
 ActivityMonitor, and..
 - right-drag it to the desktop to symlink it, or right-click it and select
 AddOns > Open-target-folder ..etc: nothing happens at all (not even
 getting an error message).

 Seems Tracker does not handle well the new PM folders; some of the actions
 do work, some do not. It's not the underlying file-system which is at
 fault since I can still `ln -s ....` to create the symlink by hand, and
 symlinking directly from the app (instead of the symlink-to-app-in-shine-
 through-folder) works too.

 Bug been there a while, ever since the switch to PM I think.
