Yes, definitely Pessulus would be the tool to _define_ the list of
allowed directories. However, the applications themselves (in this
case, Nautilus and the FilChooser) need to support these, ie, the real
implementation would have to be done on the parts of the Desktop which
actually let the user access the file system.
