Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-creator

I started usb-creator from the Applications menu. Trying to select the .iso I downloaded to my desktop, I pressed "Other". This opened a navigator window with a list of Places on the left hand side.
Selecting Desktop did not show the .iso I downloaded.
The Desktop entry pointed to /root/Desktop, instead of /home/albert/Desktop.
Also, the root home directory was shown, instead of my personal home directory.

Navigating through "File System" allowed me to find the right .iso.

$ apt-cache policy usb-creator
usb-creator:

(127.0.0.1 is apt-cacher-ng pointing to nl.archive.ubuntu.com)

  * Write the log file to SUDO_USER's home directory, not root's.
  * Start the file chooser in SUDO_USER's home directory (LP: #273642).
  * Show a warning dialog when an ISO image cannot be used (LP: #272415).
