            Bug ID: 403345
           Summary: autostart does not honor "Path" indication
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: FreeBSD Ports
                OS: FreeBSD
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

Sample script that uses xmessage to display $PWD

SUMMARY
.desktop files can contain a `Path' line, that indicates the working directory
for the program to be run.

When a .desktop file is found in the .autostart directory it is executed, but
its `Path' line is ignored.
If the same file is opened with Dolphin, the `Path' line is honored.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install a sample .desktop file, that sets the `Path' to something other than
$HOME and shows $PWD
2. restart KDE

OBSERVED RESULT
The sample program shows that $PWD is $HOME, but it should be otherwise.
