Dear Maintainer,

I discovered this while testing viewmol in Debian Edu Wheezy.  When
trying to select viewmol from the science menu in Gnome, a popup show up
with (translated from norwegian by me) this content:

  Could not start "viewmol"
  Error changing to the directory "$HOME" (No such file or directory)
  [Close]

The cause is this field in the viewmol.desktop file:

  Path=$HOME

When I remove this line, the program start as it should.  Please remove
that line from the desktop file.  Tagging the bug patch as the fix is to
remove one line from a text file, even though I did not provide the diff
to do so.
