Bug Description
Steps to reproduce:
1) do a fresh install in a VM or in a real hardware;
2) open PCManFM and create a bookmark to any folder, for instance, Downloads;
3) note that the file .gtk-bookmarks will be created at /home/.
4) note that there's no folder /home/username/
5) in order to create gtk-3.0 folder, let's open Startup Disk Creator and play a little with it until you see the folder gtk-3.0 created at /home/username/
now let's goto the bug itself:
1) at this point, you'll have 2 bookmarks files for PCManFM that look the same.
one at
/home/username/
the other at
/home/
2) on PCManFM, let's create another bookmark, for instance, Templates. goto Templates folder, ctrl+D and confirm bookmark creation.
3) open any other application except PCManFM. Leafpad, Firefox, Abiword are ok.
I'll open Leafpad, choose File>Save and note on the "Save as" window that there's no bookmark for the Templates folder that we created before. Only the boomark for the Downloads folder will be there. From now on, every new folder that we boomark via PCManFM will not be available when trying to access that bookmark from other applications.

4) check also the thread below:
https:/
and note the following comment from PCMan:
"It reads and writes ~/.config/
5) so rename the ~/.config/
6) Thanks to PCMan himself, I managed to manually fix as a workaround on my test machine:
ln -s /home/username/
What's the best solution to have it fixed automatically for Saucy?
tks,
Iberê
