Okay, it looks there is a reason for the (seemingly) weird symlink behavior, and that reason might be more important than fixing a problem for people who had a bad idea. (To be honest, I also do not see why it is a bad idea to symlink /usr ... except that shotwell is not working.) However, for the handful of people who actually stumble across the same problem, I want to add that you can (and, depending on the badideaness, even should) mount to /usr instead of symlinking. The switch is easy: rm /usr mkdir /usr mount -o bind /path/to/usr /usr (and for a persistent mount, change /etc/fstab accordingly). Best Stephan -- There are no bad ideas.
