Hi,

When launching a program from Konqueror as a filemanager, e.g. clicking on =
a=20
PDF launches KDPF, it passes the file path or URL (depending on the program=
's=20
capabilities) but leaves the working directory set to $HOME.

A recent question [1] on kde-linux shows that some users do not expect this=
=20
behaviour, so the question is: do you have any observations/recommendations=
=20
on how this should be handled?

I searched the KDE bug database and the most recent entry regarding this is=
=20
[2]

However it applies to special case, i.e. launching a program itself, not=20
handing a file over to a different application.
I am not sure if these two cases are distinguisable enough, but in the past=
=20
the "launching program itself" seems to have decided the fate of similar=20
reports [3]

Actually one of the comments in [3] sound like a good case _for_ changing o=
f=20
the working directory: a lot of applications will use the working directory=
=20
as the default for their file dialogs
