Subject: [PATCH] daemon: use HOME as the working directory
Session buses started as part of a systemd --user session are launched
with the current working directory being the home directory of the user.
Applications which are launched via dbus activation inherit the working
directory from the session bus dbus-daemon.
When dbus-launch is used to start dbus-daemon, as is commonly the case
with a session manager such as gnome-session, this leads to applications
having a default working directory of "/", which is undesirable (as an
example, the default directory in a GTK+ save dialog becomes "/").
As an improvement, make dbus-launch use the value of the environment
variable HOME, if it is set, as the current working directory.

<para>The <command>dbus-launch</command> command is used to start a session bus
instance of <emphasis remap='I'>dbus-daemon</emphasis> from a shell script.
It would normally be called from a user's login
scripts. Unlike the daemon itself, <command>dbus-launch</command> exits, so
backticks or the $() construct can be used to read information from
<command>dbus-launch</command>.</para>
<para>With no arguments, <command>dbus-launch</command> will launch a session bus
instance and print the address and PID of that instance to standard
output.</para>
+<para>If the environment variable HOME is set, it is used as the current
+working directory. Otherwise, the root directory (<filename>/</filename>) is
+used.</para>
+
<para>You may specify a program to be run; in this case, <command>dbus-launch</command>
will launch a session bus instance, set the appropriate environment
variables so the specified program can find the bus, and then execute the
specified program, with the specified arguments. See below for
examples.</para>
<para>If you launch a program, <command>dbus-launch</command> will not print the
information about the new bus to standard output.</para>
<para>When <command>dbus-launch</command> prints bus information to standard output, by
default it is in a simple key-value pairs format. However, you may
request several alternate syntaxes using the --sh-syntax, --csh-syntax,
--binary-syntax, or
--auto-syntax options. Several of these cause <command>dbus-launch</command> to emit shell code
to set up the environment.</para>
<para>With the --auto-syntax option, <command>dbus-launch</command> looks at the value
of the SHELL environment variable to determine which shell syntax
should be used. If SHELL ends in "csh", then csh-compatible code is
emitted; otherwise Bourne shell code is emitted. Instead of passing
--auto-syntax, you may explicitly specify a particular one by using
--sh-syntax for Bourne syntax, or --csh-syntax for csh syntax.
In scripts, it's more robust to avoid --auto-syntax and you hopefully
know which shell your script is written in.</para>
<para>See <ulink url='http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/'>http://www.freedesktop.org/software/dbus/</ulink> for more information
about D-Bus. See also the man page for <emphasis remap='I'>dbus-daemon</emphasis>.</para>
