Bug Description

I setup the command shown below as a main menu entry type of 'Application in Terminal'. This is to create a backup file of my Evolutuion contacts & mail boxes.

tar -cvzf ~/Internet/MailAndContactsBackup.tar.gz .evolution .gconf/apps/evolution .gnome2_private/Evolution

It appears to do nothing when invoked from the main menu. When the command is run from within a Terminal, it creates the MailAndContactsBackup.tar.gz file in ~/Internet.
