In addition to the efm problem I noted that when using the e file selector (when editing the icon for a desktop entry for example) the same thing occurs. If I click on the Home dir in the list at the left then try to click on a linked dir in the middle list I get the same error. Additionally, the icon information is not saved or not used as the icon is not displayed in the window menu. Maybe these are related some how.
