xsane wrongly presumes ~user is /home/user in save field

[dcam]

Binary package hint: xsane

When using xsane, in the main xsane window there's a field for saving the file. If you type in ~user/blah.pdf and then click the disk icon to its left, it opens up at /home/user even for users whose home directory is not in /home.
