Thanks for looking at the patch. I'd like to point out a couple of things.

1. Both with and without this patch, if you "cd /to/some/symlink" the title bar
and tab are inconsistent and show the wrong path. While they will show the
/proc/<pid>/cwd path, the shell itself will show "/to/some/symlink".

2. This fixes not only the starting path manually set within the profile, but
the action "Open terminal here" within dolphin and konqueror.

3. I'd hesitate to call PWD a trick. This is exactly how shells communicate
directory information. It's why you can start any shell within another without
losing your path. This isn't just zsh and bash, it's every shell I could think
to test. If it isn't an official standard, it's as good as one.
