Because most likely there is no sub-directory called "~" in the current
path.

~ to mean the user's home directory is a shell feature. GTK does not
support it (well, not directly. But there might be some glib function
that helps.) You have to use explicit paths. If you want the user's home
directory, glib can help you with that.
