More info: The problem seems only to happen to a newly started machine, when my girlfriend tries to access a photo via a symlink to my account (photos are stored on my account using my user rights set to 755).
I tried, using her account, to open a photo she downloaded and tada! it worked. And AFTER having done that, trying to open a symlinked photo worked!! It also happens with my account using the test case above (I can reproduce it any time) and with any photo, mine or hers, symlinked or not. I really don't understand. Any tip on how to catch that bug would be welcome.
