Bug Description

I've been using Ubuntu GNOME 15.04 in my laptop (installed with beta 2 ISO). I've noticed that the context menu showing "Open in terminal" which I deduct that it will cd into the folder path I have opened is not working correctly.

Reproduce by:

1) open any folder that's not your home (~)

Expected results

1) gnome-terminal opens in "/home/david/chosen/folder"

Additional notes: I use zsh, installed a recent daily image (april 16) and I couldn't get it working)

I found the culprit thanks to this answer on askubuntu (https://askubuntu.com/a/804652).

If one sets zsh as the default shell and unchecks the custom shell command in the gnome terminal profile preferences, the correct folder is opened. Otherwise, if one uses the custom command, the home directory is opened.
