Description Christian Neumair 2005-07-27 11:47:37 UTC 
gnome_desktop_item_launch doesn't support the "Path" key, which is mentioned in
the desktop entry spec [1]. The solution is probably to use the value of "Path"
in gnome-desktop-item.c:ditem_execute instead of using g_get_home_dir ().

Proposed patch

A quick test revealed that it works fine. The user is still able to override
the "Path" by specifying GNOME_DESKTOP_ITEM_LAUNCH_USE_CURRENT_DIR in the
launch flags.
