[Bug 489825] Re: System Settings Default Applications autocompletes ~USERNAME but won't accept it

[skierpage]

Thanks for responding, but you seem confused and I don't know how to
explain the bug any better.  The "Select preferred xxx application"
dialog accepts and autocompletes both ~/some/path and
~skierpage/some/path , but then System Settings Default Applications
rejects either path style as 'not found'.  As I wrote, that mismatch is
bad confusing behavior.

Yes one could have directories named /~ and /~skierpage, but there's no
ambiguity, you select those with paths starting with '/' rather than
'~'.
