in xfce terminals start in ~/temp

So I add a launcher, say rxvt or aterm to the panel, and it starts in ~/temp (the name is not relevant) and not in ~. the vc logins go to ~

any ideas as to why and how to remove it?

Re: in xfce terminals start in ~/temp

if you started X via 'startx' all terminals will start in the directory that startx was run from - is this the case?

Re: in xfce terminals start in ~/temp

I start X with slim as a daemon. Somewhere along the line I probably shut x off and went to ~/temp, so that was it. Thanks.

I get an interesting 'bug' with my prompt when I exit X, I'll now go see about that.
