terminator will cd to a non-existent directory upon split

[Michael Shapiro]

Binary package hint: terminator

shell-init throws:

"shell-init: error retrieving current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory"
and the new terminator terminal starts in a non-existent directory

Reproduction steps:
1. Open a non-terminator terminal.
2. $ mkdir ng_lubs_dongs
3. $ cd ng_lubs_dongs
4. $ terminator
5 (in terminator). $ rm -rf ng_lubs_dongs
6. Right-click and split the terminator window, note that terminator cd's to ng_lubs_dongs still.

FIX IT NG. <3

This is related to bug #181194. Not only do we need to be more sensible about where we get cwd from, we should also check before sending fork-command() that the requested cwd still exists and is a directory. Technically speaking that will produce a race condition, but the failure mode isn't dangerous AFAIK, and the chances of the directory disappearing in such a small window are pretty low.

we could default to $HOME when the directory does not exist

self.cwd = cwd or os.getcwd();
if not os.path.exists(self.cwd) or not os.path.isdir(self.cwd):
  self.cwd = os.path.expanduser("~")

pushed rev 224 to trunk

closing as fix is released since 0.8.1
