Description eric 2001-09-10 01:00:52 UTC 
When you double-click on a program, it seems to start up with
a working directory of whatever working directory Nautilus
was started in, which will frequently not be a particularly
useful one, especially if Nautilus was started from the GUI
rather than from the command line.  Perhaps the program should
be started with a working directory of either the directory
currently visible in Nautilus, or of the user's home directory.

Comment 1 John Fleck 2002-01-05 04:14:39 UTC 
Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
Comment 2 Ben FrantzDale 2002-07-12 03:54:14 UTC 
This seems easily fixable and is still an issue.
Comment 3 Luis Villa 2002-07-30 20:09:36 UTC 
I think there is a dup of this around somewhere. Very, very
tentatively marking 2.2.

Dave, is this something relevant to what you're doing with scripts?
