I guess I could live with

sandbox -X -i ~/a/b/c ~/d  -i ~/f/c evince

I would say

sandbox -X -i ~/a/b/c ~/c -i ~/c evince

Would copy the contents of both directories to ~/c within the sandbox.
then you don't need to worry about conflicts.


Patches welcome.  :^)

However if you could figure out why firefox no longer works within
matchbox-windowmanager and even fix it, I would send you a Red Hat.
