With cwd() you can retrieve the working directory of the process. However, if 
you want to do something in relation to command line arguments you are better 
of using:
	KCmdLineArgs::cwd()

Which gives you the directory from which the program was started. You need 
this if your application is a KUniqueApplication since you can then call the 
application multipe times, and each time from a different directory. However, 
all these calls will end up in the same process, so the "working directory of 
the process" has lost its meaning in that case.

Cheers,
Waldo
