Bug Description
Description of the Problem
-------
Using "Shared Folders" from the menu or launching mate-shares-admin directly from Terminal creates a share of an unexpected directory.
Package
-----------
mate-system-tools 1.4.0-1+precise
binary: mate-shares-admin
System
----------
Kernel: 3.5.0-17-generic i686 (32 bit)
Desktop: Mate
Distro: Linux Mint 14 Nadia
Steps to reproduce
-------
** Launch in Terminal: mate-shares-admin or from Menu: Administration > Shared Folders
** Create a Samba share of any folder.
** It creates a samba share of the entire home directory of the sudo user that invoked mate-shares-admin.
mate-shares-admin through Caja
-------
If however you use the right click context menu within Caja which appears to also invoke mate-shares-admin it does create the correct share of the folder.
Confirming this problem on Mint Linux 15 XFCE edition using binary mate-shares-admin.
