Severity: normal
File: libgnomevfs

*** Please type your report below this line ***

Hello,

While I was testing a sarge instalation I wanted to report a few bugs 
against d-i and during that attempt I found a bug of libgnomevfs.

I chrooted to my usual root from the newly installed system and I didn't 
mount my /home partition as I didn't want to mess my /home.

I was warned that HOME is set to / and changed (and exported) it to /tmp 
in order to have write access and start X and thunderbird.

The problem is that when starting thunderbird (after I started twm as a 
window manager) I saw that it was trying to save data in 
/home/eddy/.gnome2 and not in /tmp/.gnome2!

I tried to reproduce this by running gedit to see if it is a thunderbird 
related issue.

I am not sure if gnome should be running when trying thunderbird, but I 
guess assuming that home is /home/<user> is not right.


Here is the errors I get when trying to run gedit under twm:
(gedit:5688): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome 
directory: No such file or directory
Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory 
`/home/eddy/.gnome2/': No such file or directory

Also thunderbird errors:
(Gecko:5734): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: Unable to create ~/.gnome 
directory: No such file or directory
Could not create per-user gnome configuration directory 
`/home/eddy/.gnome2/': No such file or directory
