Hello,

I need to interact with a shell program through KProcess/KProcIO.  It works 
pretty well, except for one issue:  the shell process needs to be run locally 
from its own directory, because it expects other files to be present in its 
directory.  Using '*myProcess << "/path/to/shellprocess" ' does not work, 
because the shell process still sees the current directory as 
"/opt/kde3/bin".  Is there a way to set the current working directory of my 
KDE frontend to be the shell process's directory?

The alternative (which I am currently using) is to ignore "make install" and 
just copy my compiled KDE program into the shell process's directory.  
However, this means I can't easily use XMLGUI.

thanks in advance for any help,
Jason
