terminal issue

[stlsaint]

i installed kde over gnome (ubuntu 9.10) all has been well until today when i open up my terminal using (terminator) and it opens me up to /home/stlsaint/Documents on default. i dont change anything and it goes to that location on its own...nothing is edited in my .bashrc (btw i am using zsh and bash and both yield same results).
Any ideas?

In konsole, select "Settings/Edit Current Profile..." and in the resulting dialog, under "General" tab, check your initial directory.

Odd that this value could carry over to Terminator, and tty's! though?

There is no general tab in kde (from what i can find) but my home dir has already been proven as being /home/stlsaint

thanks for reply tho

System Setttings > About Me > Paths ?

If you want that doesn't work you can directly tell bash where to go in your ~/.bashrc

cd $HOME

cd $HOME

that returns nothing but a blank line then back to prompt.

O well there goes that idea. If that isn't set then I don't see that as being the issue.

Then put it in ~/.zshrc

but my zshrc is also fine for path.

i believe i have narrowed down issue some more. I opened up regular terminal (not terminator) and i was started at correct location (/home/stlsaint) so i figure it has to do with terminator!
