Bug Description

What I normally do is cd to a location in Terminal, and then run:

    nautilus .

If I want to open Nautilus so that it opens up on the location to which I have navigated to in Terminal, however, no matter to where I navigate in 15.10, running the command only ever opens Nautilus in the home folder. If I want it to open a specific location then I have to instead run:

    nautilus /path/to/location/
