Steps to reproduce:
1. Create directory for screenshots:
$ mkdir -p /tmp/shutter/screenshots/dir
2. Start shutter with clean configuration:
$ cd
$ mv .shutter .shutter_
$ shutter
3. Open Edit -> Preferences. Main tab. By default "Directory" is home directory.
4. Click on directory value---list of common directories will be poped down, select "Other..."---directory selection menu will appear.
5. Copy-paste in Location "/tmp/shutter/screenshots/dir/" and press Open. Shutter will show, that Directory for saving screenshots is "dir".
6. In Shutter window press "Full Screen" for taking screenshot.
Observed behavior: screenshot is taken in user's home directory.
Expected behavior: screenshot is taken /tmp/shutter/screenshots/dir/.
