Ah, this seems to be a problem with the libegg 
egg_screen_execute_command_line_async function. It always uses $home as 
cwd in the multi-head case. In the non-multihead case it uses 
g_spawn_command_line_async () which uses cwd.

This patch changes this behaviour:

Mark. Do you want to change this in libegg?
