Description Ethan Joffe 2010-04-19 11:46:31 UTC 
when reloading the saved state of terminals, the WorkingDirectory is being expanded if its a symlink.
For instance if a saved config file has:

WorkingDirectory=/foo

and foo = /usr/local/foo

then the terminal opens up with /usr/local/foo rather than /foo

This is very annoying for long paths if the prompt and terminal title show the path.

Please preserve the symlink.

That's impossible. See bug 502146 "issue C".
