xfce4-utils' xfrun4 utility does not support the use of ~ as a prefix
that is translated to the home directory. Interpreting ~ is
implemented by nearly every Unix shell, and is expected behaviour from
applications that are a "shell substitute".
xfrun4 should support ~ as a prefix that is translated into /home/foo.
Hello Ben,
xfrun4 does not launch a shell and does thus not interpret ~, nor does
it expand environment variables, *, expressions inside backticks etc.
This is an active decision by upstream, to keep xfrun4 fast and light.
It would, however, maybe be feasible to add special code inside xfrun4
to interpret just ~, as it is so commonly used.
