Dear Maintainer,

I have a bunch of launcher icons on the desktop to start terminals in
particular places, or other similar activities. They all used to begin
with $HOME as the working directory (shown by a shell prompt). After a
recent update they now all begin in ~/Desktop instead. This broke a
few launchers entirely, which did depend on paths to specific things.

Hi Paul, thanks for the report.

Considering the desktop launchers are stored in ~/Desktop, it does make sense
though. If you require a specific working directory you can set it in the
launcher properties.

Regards,
