If you mean right-clicking on the desktop to select "Open in Terminal" opens the terminal in ~/Desktop rather than $HOME, then yes, that's been recently fixed. (I presume the GNOME folks changed this to be consistent--selecting that menu item in any other folder has always opened a terminal cd'ed to that folder, so they wanted the desktop to behave the same way. But at least they gave us the option to keep the old behaviour...) I'm not aware of xterm ever having opened in ~/Documents, though... that's unlikely to be anything to do with GNOME.
