Terminals opened in gmrun default to /, rather than ~

Hello, I'm new around here.  I'm in the process of migrating to Arch from Gentoo (used Gentoo for ~2 years).  The Arch install was surprisingly simple, and I'm rather impressed with Arch.

Anyway, I've hit a snag,
When I open any terminal from within gmrun, it defaults to /, rather than my home directory.  Not a root terminal or anything, just a user terminal at the wrong location.

Launching a terminal using Gnome's launcher (default alt+f2) launches a terminal correctly, putting me at ~.

I noticed gmrun behaving this way with my last Gentoo upgrade as well, but having neglected Gentoo for too long, I figured it was a configuration problem somewhere.  But now seeing it on Arch, my next guess is that gmrun is to blame.

My version of gmrun is: 0.9.2-2

Thoughts?

Which terminal? I opened Terminator and xterm from gmrun and both opened normally (~).

Any of them.  xterm, aterm, gnome-terminal.

It's a fresh install.  I don't think I missed anything in the configuration...
