Comment 1 for bug 236468

Interesting bug. I'm not actually sure if it's possible we can do anything about this - the only way we can maintain cwd from one shell to the next is by inspecting the cwd of the child process of a vte widget and this will give us the absolute path.
Unless there is something I am missing, our only option is to revert to the behaviour of opening with the cwd of the main Terminator process.
