   Oops, sorry, this was supposed to go to the Debian list. ... and   
   anyway I have discovered the answer.  If I click on the bacground I   
   get a terminal in $HOME/.desktop (as it should be) but if I just start   
   a terminal from the menu it's in $HOME as I would expect.   
      
   Sorry for the noise!
