Flatpak & GNU Stow problems (solved)

Could someone tell me how to let #Flatpak follow symlinks? I have #dotfiles managed by #stow and Flatpak apps can’t see the #Kvantum config.

So, I’ve got symlinks in xdg-config and I’d like for Flatpak to follow them to the folder where the configurations actually reside in (~/.config/home-dir). Search results have been unhelpful.

For example, if I do ls in ~/.config/Kvantum it shows this:
kvantum.kvconfig -> ../../.config/home-dir/.config/Kvantum/kvantum.kvconfig

And even if I give Flatpak apps access to xdg-config/home-dir:ro and xdg-config/Kvantum:ro they won’t use the config.

SOLUTION: I switched to Tuckr for dotfiles management, which let me symlink the whole Kvantum directory instead of the individual files. This somehow allowed Flatpak to access the themes.
