It would be better to make it work without a shell, i.e. find out where
exactly the current working dir is used. 

Apart from that, KProcess has support for running the process in a

Yes, but it doesn't connect to the stderr signal, i.e. it tells
K3Process it wants all channels but ignores stderr. All != Merged.
