gdm and session working directory

[Brian Gruber]

This problem is really little more than a pet peeve,
but it's been bothering me for a few years now and I'd
love to be able to fix it.

On my system, /home is a symlink to /usr/home. When I
log in to gnome with gdm, my working directory for
everything gets set to /usr/home/username.

This is annoying because $HOME points to
/home/username. therefore, programs don't recognize
that they are in my home directory; bash, for example,
shows /usr/home/username in my prompt instead of ~.

I suppose i could recode $HOME to be
/usr/home/username, but that doesn't seem right.

any suggestions?
