 I'm on debian x64 using package version 0.9.15-4.1.

 I have .pulse as a symlink to local/.pulse (a dir) in my home directory.
 'local' is a symlink to /some/abs/path.

 When I try to run gnome-volume-control.pulse I get "Failed to create
 secure directory" and the process just hangs with no GUI elements popping
 up.

 Only by doing an strace did I discover what the problem was. The log of
 stdout/err is attached. Search for "secure" to find the relevant spot.
