I've created a couple launchers - one for xterm and one for Terminal. No matter what is in the "working directory" box, the terminal session is always started in the root directory. Normal behavior would be for the terminal session to start in the user's home directory. Can't make that happen.

I'm running the Xfce spin of Fedora 16. I guessed the version of Xfce based on the library versions:

$ rpm -qa |grep -i xfce |grep lib
libxfce4util-4.8.2-1.fc16.x86_64
libxfcegui4-4.8.1-3.fc15.x86_64
libxfce4ui-4.8.1-1.fc16.x86_64

Use the Path key of desktop files if a path is not set

The attached patch will use the Path key of desktop files if a working directory is not already set
