Public bug reported:
In my home directory, I have a subdirectory for a game.
eg. /home/foobar/game/
I play the game often, so I want to have a shortcut for the game on the
desktop, so I can just double-click on the icon on the desktop instead
of open the directory all the time.
So I middle-click on the executable file and move to desktop and choose
"Link Here" in the menu.
So that I have a icon on the desktop called "Game" that links to
/home/foobar/game/executable
But it does not work.
Because the executable tries to read a data file which resides in its own
directory, e.g /home/foobar/game/data.moo
So when I click on the link, it searches for data.moo on the desktop instead of
its own directory.
It searches for data.moo in /home/foobar/Desktop/data.moo when it actually
should be looking for it in /home/foobar/game/data.moo
