That's OK for defaults, but it should be tunable per user.

I should think so.

For this reason, this really should be dealt with in XDG, and I think
a variation on the /etc/alternatives model would be appropriate.  That
is, the "real directory" is something like ~/.local/Desktop, and 
~/Darbastalis is a link to that.  (Or it could be the other way around,
for all I care! ;-)

Obviously this is a long-run (maybe never) solution, so I don't
propose that apparmor devs ignore this if it can be ameliorated with
reasonable effort in apparmor.
