Bug Description

That small black curved arrow emblem that is shown in symlinks is not being displayed for all symlinks in 16.04.

Reproducing the bug may need a bit of trial and error.

To reproduce, create symlinks from some of the files in /usr/bin (or some other folder) into the home folder.
For example, symlinks to "apt" and "apt-cdrom" don't display the arrow emblem.
