Some additional information: * launching the program with "kile somedir/file.tex" opens the file, whether given from the home directory or from any other one. So does "kile /home/my_user_name/somedir/file.tex". It looks like the only issue is that kile uses $(HOME) as the base path rather than the current working directory for relative path. * launching the program with tcsh rather than bash gives the same problem. * okular (one of the only few other kde apps that I have installed, to check if it's a global kde problem rather than a kile-specific one) works as expected. * opening files through file/open inside the application works as expected.
