Public bug reported:
Ubuntu 9.04
Package version: The package must be a dependency of gnome-control-center
(maybe gnome-settings-daemon? I've attached versions of all direct
dependencies.), because that is the package that contains the executable
gnome-keybinding-properties
Expected: when setting keyboard shortcuts in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard
Shortcuts, applications launched have a working directory of ~
Actual: applications have a working directory of /
This isn't a showstopper (since any application with really important paths
should set it itself), but a UI nightmare, e.g. starting something like gedit
this way will cause the File -> Open and File -> Save dialogs to default to a
useless directory.
Workaround: in the box, use
sh -c 'cd ~;exec gedit'
for an application that doesn't have a --working-directory option.
