The standard 'Office' icon on my (Gnome) desktop fails to work. If tails with
this error message:

===========================
There was an error launching the application.

Details: Failed to change to directory '$HOME' (No such file or
directory)
===========================

The file $HOME/Office.desktop contains this relevant info:
========
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
..
Exec=oofromtemplate
..
Path=$HOME
Type=Application
..
=========
The problem appears to be that it is not correctly substituting $HOME
in Office.desktop. Using '~' instead of '$HOME' does not work either.
In both cases, I confirmed that /usr/bin/oofromtemplate is never called.

However, if I replace 'Path=$HOME' in Office.desktop with 'Path=/home/kevin',
then everything works.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure your $HOME/Desktop/Office.desktop appears as described above.
2. Login using Gnome.
3. Double-click on the 'Office' icon.
4. Observe the error message.
Actual Results:  
Produced pop-up error dialog box with error message described in "Details"
section, above.

Expected Results:  
That /usr/bin/oofromtemplate is actually executed.
