It's currently a kde feature that all apps start in XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR (defaults to $HOME/Documents) OK... I launch terminal (or konsole) with gnome, and they start in my /home/my_user/ folder... sorry, to be clear, it's any app started from a kde desktop *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 571837 *** (In reply to comment #1) > It's currently a kde feature that all apps start in XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR > (defaults to $HOME/Documents) You say it's a kde feature, but I have not that with F17 and Kde 4.8.4-1. Is it a feature for F18 rawhide and Kde 4.8.9 ? It looks like at least for Konsole, the behavior changed in F18, it started up in ~ rather than ~/Documents up to F17. *** Bug 858587 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I can confirm it. F18 KDE Alpha LiveCD, konsole start on ~/Documents For reference, here's a fix: http://commits.kde.org/konsole/a910778820408f293085073712b98a090dd3b28a Now I have the same behaviour (konsole starts in ~/Documents folder) in my F17: $ rpm -q konsole konsole-4.9.1-1.fc17.x86_64 As of the latest updates I am now seeing this behavior in F17 as well. Konsole defaults to $HOME/Documents/ directory rather than just $HOME/. This is not preferred behavior. konsole-4.9.1-2.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/konsole-4.9.1-2.fc17 Package konsole-4.9.1-2.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.

Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-14700/konsole-4.9.1-2.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). Tested the F18 package and fixed: rpm -qa |grep -i konsole konsole-4.9.1-2.fc18.i686 konsole-part-4.9.1-2.fc18.i686 start on ~/ and not ~/Documents Test with kde 4.9 on F17, and konsole-4.9.1-2.fc17 solve the problem. I also test with F18, and konsole-4.9.1-2.fc18 solve the problem. Thank konsole-4.9.1-2.fc17 has been pushed to the Fedora 17 stable repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. konsole-4.9.1-2.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/konsole-4.9.1-2.fc18 Oh boo, someone on irc using konsole not in kde reported today that it no longer works for them: Failed to launch Konsole ... Failed to change $HOME and there is no such directory I'll test myself here in a bit, but it would appear that Path[$e]=$HOME doesn't work outside of kde, I think the [$e] extension is kde-only that allows for expansion of env vars Considering the regression (comment #18), reopenning. I'll contact konsole upstream for their take on that. In the meantime, I think I'm ready to propose we consider reverting the upstream commits that start applications in xdg documents dir by default (and go back to using $HOME instead) And I'm starting to agree with you and Than on that, considering that starting apps in ~/Documents is supposed to be a compatibility feature for non-KDE apps, but no other desktop does that. kdelibs-4.9.2-5.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/kdelibs-4.9.2-5.fc17 Package kdelibs-4.9.2-5.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days.
