In 11.1 the default directory for dolphin and xterm is
/home/username/Documents. How do I change this to be just
/home/username?
The dolphin Settings->Configure Dolphin->Home Folder setting appears to
have no effect, but since xterm is always giving the Documents
directory, I think the setting is external to dolphin.

If nothing else you could put a command to change directories in
~/.bashrc (/home/yourusername/.bashrc). To just go to your home
directory you can stick with just ‘cd’.
I haven’t seen this myself but maybe something you’ve installed changes
the directory in one of the login scripts like .bashrc for you.
Good luck.

I’m finding this quite irritating. It is done for all user accounts.

Ok I have found a solution.
‘[Bug 166088] Unable to change home directory in dolphin’
(http://www.archivum.info/kde-bugs-dist@kde.org/2008-07/msg04445.html)
I needed a reboot before the setting would work.
