But it talks about /home/.... files, and it's confusing since it really talks about /compat/linux/home/... files. Now I found who creates /compat/linux/home. It's skype. After I delete /compat/linux/home and relaunch skype it recreates it. So maybe to prevent such things link /compat/linux/home -> /home should be created by installer? Yuri
