The thread with the subject of "gnome-terminal in F20 defaults to / for the initial directory" prompted me to do some testing and I've found an oddity. The desktop file is as follows... [egreshko@f20f ]$ cat Desktop/gnome-terminal.desktop
But for me: [rgm@lx120e ~]$ cat Desktop/gnome-terminal.desktop cat: Desktop/gnome-terminal.desktop: No such file or directory [rgm@lx120e ~]$ I had just opened this terminal window, and it started right at /home/rgm/
[Desktop Entry] Comment[en_US]= Comment= Exec=/usr/bin/gnome-terminal --working-directory=$HOME/Desktop GenericName[en_US]=Gnome Terminal GenericName=Gnome Terminal Icon=utilities-terminal MimeType= Name[en_US]=gnome-terminal Name=gnome-terminal StartupNotify=true Terminal=false TerminalOptions= Type=Application X-DBUS-ServiceName= X-DBUS-StartupType= X-KDE-SubstituteUID=false X-KDE-Username= If I click on the desktop icon in KDE the --working-directory option is honored. However, if I double click on the desktop icon in GNOME that parameter has no effect unless I replace $HOME with the actual path name. So, for some reason GNOME is not expanding the $HOME variable. Also, if I execute "/usr/bin/gnome-terminal --working-directory=$HOME/Desktop" from within an existing terminal session $HOME will be expanded. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1047116 Ed
