gEDA-bug: [Bug 726898] [NEW] gentenv PWD does not work in gnome desktop environment

[KaiMartin <726898@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

If gschem is started from the file manager nautilus, the string (getenv
"PWD") is not interpreted properly.

To reproduce:

1) Put a gafrc with these lines in a working directory:
      (define current-working-directory (getenv "PWD"))
      (component-library current-working-directory)
      (source-library  current-working-directory)

2)  copy a symbol to the working directory and rename it to local.sym

3) open gschem on the command line

4) add the local symbol local.sym to the schematic. Add some symbols
from the default library.

5) save schematic and close gschem

6) browse nautilus to the working directory

7) double click the saved schematic

gschem starts, but can't find the symbol local.sym . The symbols from
the default library are rendered fine, though.

Workaround:
   (define current-working-directory ".")
This loads local symbols fine.
