Summary: File->Open should default to working directory

Initial Comment:
The Open File dialog seem to remember the last used directory even across restarts. This is annoying when you're working on several projects, since you need to go to the right directory manually. Same for Save As... dialog.

I think it would make more sense to default to the current R working directory when the open dialog is used for the first time in the session. Inside a session, though, it should go to the last used directory. (Another solution would be to store the last used directory in the .rworkplace file, but that would make things more complex without a very important gain.)
