'Places' uses wrong path on Linux about wire-desktop HOT 3 CLOSED

@ConorIA Very well noticed, I feel kinda stupid missing that. I restarted the app, and now it's fine. In short, the app behaves exactly as expected. Let's close this one quickly :-)

We won't tell anyone.. 😶

How are you building / installing / running Wire? That looks like Linux Mint, am I correct?

My guess is that Wire is running as the root user (this is generally bad.) You can check by running ps aux | grep Wire on a terminal.

I don't think that this is anything set in the Wire app, for instance, when I open a photo, it automatically starts on the Nautilus Recents page. When I open a location in Places, it does indeed send me to MY user folder. Not root.
