Description Kiran K Telukunta 2012-09-28 20:56:35 UTC
Description of problem: Being in the Gnome desktop when I try to open Konsole Application it is not opening since the last update to Kernel(3.5.4-1.fc17.i686) I receive the error as 

"Failed to launch Konsole ... Failed to change $HOME and there is no such directory"

However I have proper home directory when I type "echo $HOME". And the application Terminal is opening fine.

If I try to open Konsole from Terminal application it is opening but not through Alt+F2. 

If I login to KDE Desktop there is no problem with Konsole. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Version 2.9.1 


How reproducible: Open Konsole application in Gnome Desktop either in Omnibox or through Alt+F2

  
Actual results: "Failed to launch Konsole ... Failed to change $HOME and there is no such directory"


Expected results: Application should Open but it is not opening.
