Whatever it is, it certainly seems unique to your system. I have a newly installed F20 system and nautilus starts with the user's home directory and when I create a desktop icon for gnome-terminal it starts in the user's home directory. The one thing I've not seen is anyone posting the contents of the desktop file. Mine is....
