Bug Description

Looks like we recently re-introduced the bug where the terminal starts in some odd long path.

We should start in $HOME - which we previously used to.

We should probably have a test for this too, to detect what directory the app starts in.

So are you saying that during App installation,
when "make" alters the .init file,
it does not do a neat surgery like this:

export PATH=$HOME/bin:$HOME/local/bin:$HOME/UbuntuTerminalApp/bin:$HOME/system/bin:

But rather is adding some completely incorrect path immediately to the right
of "export PATH=" , resulting in something more like this:

export PATH=$HOME/this/way/to/lala/land/bin:$HOME/bin:$HOME/local/bin:$HOME/UbuntuTerminalApp/bin:$HOME/system/bin:

( And since /this/way/to/lala/land/bin is presented first, we end up there ) ? ? ? ?

(( Or is Ubuntu so completely different than Unix ? ))
