With recent versions of GTK+ (2.24.16 and later), the current working directory is easily reachable within the Gtk file dialogs (Save, as well as Open and Import), since it is now listed at the top of the predefined bookmarks on the left side ('Places').

For 'Save as' (and 'Save a copy') dialogs, Inkscape 0.48 (and current trunk) already default to the directory of the currently open file (optionally, can be changed in the preferences to the last used one), for new files it varies depending on upstream GTK+ version.
