Description Ross Burton 2005-11-08 17:19:33 UTC 
I have a binary which needs to be ran from a certain directory, so I do this:
Exec=/foo/bar/flob
Path=/foo/bar

This ensures that the working directory is set correctly and isn't $HOME. 
However, the panel seems to ignore this as the working directory is still $HOME
when flob is executed.

This is a gnome-desktop bug. Will attach a patch soon.
