tags 676616 + patch thanks I also saw this problem. Thanks to all your info above, I've got a patch that makes it skip the XDG_PICTURES_DIR attempt on failure to get the value, so that it falls back to HOME as expected.
It seems that this has been fixed with a series of changes in upstream master: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679055 So, if it's to be forwarded upstream, it would be for gnome-3-4 branch only. Regards, -- Theppitak Karoonboonyanan http://linux.thai.net/~thep/
