There's probably a very elegant way, but the simplest way is to create

schroot (in mine, games, but you could create something like
"chrooters"). Sure their home directory will be bind mounted but if
you have permissions set right that user (or any malware running as
that user) won't be able to access other user's home directory.

Thank you. If I can't find a better way, I'll use your suggestion.

In the meantime, I don't like doing things just because they work. I
really want to understand what's missing from the current invocation or
environment so that I understand what's going wrong. Knowing why is
almost as important as knowing how to work around it. :)
