Bug Description
Bug seems to be in Lucid (10.04) only. I tested the same steps with the same version of shutter in Ubuntu 9.10 and it works well.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Install shutter
2) Run the shutter from terminal
3) Go to "Edit -> Preferences -> Main"
4) See selected directory in section "Save"
Expected result:
/home/login
Actual result:
/home
If you change the value to the correct one, save it and quit shutter (using context menu on Shutter icon in gnome panel), setting is lost - you get the value "/home" again after next start.
OS: Ubuntu 10.04, amd64
shutter 0.85.1-1

I can't reproduce this here. I've installed Lucid alpha2 in a VirtualBox environment and everything seems to be fine. Are there any error messages when you launch Shutter via terminal that might be related to the described behavior?
You could also launch Shutter with its debug parameter to get some more information on startup: shutter --debug
Are there any specialties in your installation, e.g. /home on a different partition or filesystem, LVM, encrypted filesystem etc. ? Does your username contain any special characters like blanks or whatever?
