Bug Description

while using ubuntu 9.10 alpha 4, i was in a gnome-terminal using man in my home directory...
and i opened a new terminal window using ctrl-shift-N,,,and noticed the directory of the new terminal had changed to...
/usr/share/man...
and the same thing happens on ubuntu 9.04...
perhaps this is not a bug, but i find it odd...

Test Case

1) Run 'man man' in the first terminal
2) while the man page is open, press Ctrl+Shift+N to open new terminal tab
3) The pwd of new terminal would be '/usr/share/man'
