I don't know how to make a patch but if you change this "if" statement
around line 100 in savers/slideshow.c from
if (location != NULL) {
g_object_set (engine, "images-location", location, NULL);
}
to something like
if (location != NULL) {
wordexp_t expanded_location;
wordexp(location, &expanded_location, 0);
location = expanded_location.we_wordv[0];
g_object_set (engine, "images-location", location, NULL);
}
and #include <wordexp.h> it will expand ~/Pictures correctly
