Bug#828965: FIX: Initial directory = <empty>



Dear Maintainers.

Package: konsole                         
Version: 4:16.04.2-1

The regression I've described seems to be fixed
by setting 
'Initial directory='
instead of 
'Initial directory=/root'
in the Settings > Manage profiles > edit form.

This setting results in Directory= <empty> in the profile file reported below;
invoking the profile does NOT hang konsole, which  nicely starts a session in 
/root directory as expected  (Apparently leaving empty the 'initial directory' 
field defaults to ~ of the new user, which is sensible.)

I have no idea why Directory=<empty>  and Directory=/root
are NOT equivalent in this case, and why the problem is not reproduced.

Thanks for your time
