When I run a script from the desktop, it thinks it's running in
/home/user rather than /home/user/Desktop
For example the following:
#!/bin/bash
zenity --info --text=$PWD
exit
in a file /home/musther/Desktop/test
executed graphically (double click) on the desktop and hit run or 'run
in terminal', gives the output '/home/musther' rather than
'/home/musther/Desktop'
If run from the command line, the correct output is given, ie the
directory from which it is run.
