Public bug reported:

When I run a script from the desktop, it thinks it's running in
/home/user rather than /home/user/Desktop

For example the following:

#!/bin/bash
zenity --info --text=$PWD
exit

in a file /home/musther/Desktop/test

executed graphically (double click) on the desktop and hit run or 'run
in terminal', gives the output '/home/musther' rather than
'/home/musther/Desktop'

If run from the command line, the correct output is given, ie the
directory from which it is run.
