I like it as it is now.  Often when I am doing heavy work in the terminal
and then have a need to open as second or third terminal session it's from
the directory I am currently working in.  So as it is now it's just the way
I'd like it to be.  So i'd say it's a feature.  IIRC that's how it was in
BeOS but I may be wrong.
