>Description:
audio/muine uses Gnome.User.DirGet() to construct paths. This method is only a
stub method; as such, the paths constructed are incomplete and reference /
instead of the intended directory. Since such a path construction is used to
both create and reference its user-specific configuration directory, this
breaks the application.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install muine, try to start it as a non-root user.
>Fix:
I presume that Gnome.User.DirGet() will return the user's home directory once
implemented, so change all of the invocations of the method to get $HOME from
the environment. It's probably a good idea to send this patch upstream.
