Bug#448675: GtkFileChooser: If you press "~" in the "Location" bar, gtk replaces it with an invalid directory.

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.12.1-1
Severity: normal

To reproduce (using leafpad, or iceweasel, or most gtk apps with a
FileChooser):
1) Open leafpad (or other)
2) Press Ctrl-O to Open a File
3) Press Ctrl-L to activate Location bar.
4) Press ~

My Location bar now says "wk/". Yours probably says something similar,
but with your login name.

5) Now press Enter.

Error message: "The folder contents could not be displayed. Error
getting information for '/home/wk/wk': No such file or directory"

~ activates the wrong folder. It should be /home/wk, but instead,
is /home/wk/wk. Clearly incorrect behavior.
