Now it uses the Documents path. This however makes it impossible to have Documents as an mount point and if on a remote system ALL are working on the remote system. If it is impossible to make it configurable it should at least be defaulted to the current home directory. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Nothing to reproduce just take a look at lsof or fuser to see the disaster. 2. 3. Actual Results: All KDE related are now running with the ~/Documents as working directory. Expected Results: To set a descent working directory that not use any others directory as working directory. Yes it is critical if you have your Documents in another partition, direct or linked. Now you have to log out to change Documents directory. Agree that an ordinary user never recognize this but it still a misleading. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
