[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#717222: xfce4: Xdg desktop launchers having a bug with Working Directory

[hitmedspam at gmail.com (Lasse)]

Package: xfce4
Version: 4.8.0.3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

When you create an icon on the Desktop you are asked for a Working
Directory. However this setting is completely ignored when you launch 
the desktop shortcut.

The same launcher works from the xfce panel. This bug is only for launchers
outside of the panel.

This is a major problem for a school at this point. Some of the education
programs they run requires the working directory to be set.
