   How to set start directory to /home/user   
   25 Oct 24 19:58:26   
   
   From: cl@isbd.net   
      
   I am a died in the wool commadn line user.  I have just installed   
   Debian Bookworm on my laptop in place of xubuntu.  The installation   
   went pretty smoothly and now I'm configuring things the way I want   
   them.   
      
   I **hate** icons on the desktop and I just want to be in $HOME when I   
   log in.  So I have configured ~/.config/user-dirs.drs so none of the   
   things like ~/Music and ~/Pictures are created, so far so good. I have   
   also set things so that my 'desktop' directory isn't ~/Desktop, it's   
   ~/.desktop which is invisible.  I have absolutely no need or use for a   
   desktop directory.   
      
   However, when I start a terminal it starts in ~/.desktop, I want it to   
   start in ~.  Does anyone know where that gets set?  I certainly had   
   XFCE configured in xubuntu so that terminals started in ~ so I think   
   it must be possible in Debian.
