Terminix stable version starts in root directory again - CentOS-7

[ivoarch]

Today I installed the stable version 1.0.0 and for a big surprise when I launch Terminix, it starts in root directory :( .

Version 0.60 works fine on EL7 .

Sorry that I have not done this test before releasing the version stable!

You should be able to set DBusActivatable to false in the desktop file as a temporary workaround.

I need to do some thinking about whether keeping DBusActivatable is worth the overall aggravation it's causing at this point.

Does not work!!

~] cat /usr/share/applications/com.gexperts.Terminix.desktop | grep -i DBus
DBusActivatable=false

And Terminix it starts in root directory again.

Did you restart the desktop (Alt-F2, "r" in gnome-shell)?

I just tried it here in Oracle Linux 7.2 and couldn't replicate. Are you using Gnome Shell as your desktop environment or something else?

Never mind, I can reproduce after all, had a problem with my VM. Looks like the same issue as Unity, except now that I'm only applying the workaround to Unity it fails in this case. Unfortunately checking by desktop environment doesn't appear to be the answer.

Confirmed with the change of DBusActivatable to false works!! My fault, I started terminix from old starter on my desktop . I tried from the menu and terminix starts in my $HOME directory .

I think it would be nice to be solved the problem in the stable version for el7, as something like this patch applied in the .spec file then rebuild again .

I've ccommitted my last attempt to address this, if it doesn't work out for everyone I'll drop the DBusActivatable from the desktop file.

Fixed with last commit
