[calligra] libs/main: Show the current working directory by default when starting without args

[Marijn Kruisselbrink]

Why would you want the "current" working directory to be shown when you start 
an app from the kde menu and/or krunner or any of many other places where you 
invoke the application without having a clear concept of working directory? 
This might be a nice feature for people that start stuff from the command line 
often, but it seems like it would break for the much more common use-case of 
end-users starting apps from user interfaces...
