[Bug 783228] Re: Run dialog doesn't use $HOME as the pwd by default when specifying files/directories

Actually I just gave this a try running 13.04 and noticed the following:
With Alt+F2 I can type in a path, and if I hit enter at a folder, Nautilus opens to that folder. If I enter the full path to a file and hit enter, nothing happens - I have to click on a file.

However, this is probably a non-issue since the expected behaviour occurs if I use the Unity dash (Super key) instead of Alt-F2.
So I'd say it's running fine: you can open folders with Alt-F2 if you want, but documents are accessed from the dash, which by my understanding is how things are supposed to work in Unity anyway.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: unity

  For example, in classic gnome, I can press Alt+f2 and write ".local" or "Documents" or a folder in my home folder and nautilus opens the window.
  In unity, I write ".local" for example, and nothing happens, but if I write nautilus .local it runs.
