Comment # 97 on bug 1203617 from Eric Schirra

No it doesn't.
I have try as describe.
Again.
It runs without this change in lxde, under ALT+F1, under LxDE, under ssh and so
on. But not in xterm or konsole under kde.
Why do you think this change is in Tumbleweed?
And if you don't think install Leap in kvm. Install kde. Install mc. Open
console. Start mc. Change directory with the cursor keys and end mc with F10.
You will come out in the start folder and not in the selected folder.
So, that was my last attempt. No more desire to strain my nerves unnecessarily.
