With the right link, you can destroy any file of another user,
if he starts gnome-help-browser.
See gnome-core/help-browser/window.c
#define IMAGE_TEMPFILE "/tmp/gnome-help-browser.tmpfile"
fd = open(IMAGE_TEMPFILE, O_WRONLY | O_CREAT, 0666);
if (fd >= 0) {
docObjGetRawData(obj, &buf, &buflen);
write(fd, buf, buflen);
close(fd);
}
