Yes.. we have work on handling . files in memory.. We have do to the
same with . directories.
Also, it would
be nice to generate the .localized files to have directory
names that change according to language.
I'm working on this issue these days, will put a fix soon :)

This should actually work now. OpenOffice Writer now works and I think
it was failing because this was missing.
TextEdit is more complex because it's not a temp file but a temporary
directory. It stills fails currently.
