tmux and current directory
On current/i386, tmux seems to open a new shell with the current
directory being the same as in the window I am opening from.
What that means in particular is that if I run 'man whatever'
in a tmux window, and open a new windowd ('ctrl-b c' in my case),
the news shell is opened in /usr/local/man. Is that inteded?

Re: tmux and current directory
more of a case of man gratuitously changing cwd
shells spawned by $PAGER also have a cwd of the base of the man path

Re: tmux and current directory
This seems like intended behavior. If you want to change this you might
investigate the default-path option.

Yes. I dislike this behaviour by default but I do find it useful
on occasion, so I use this:
set -g default-path .
bind C new-window -c
this lets me do prefix-c to open a new window normally (working
directory being the same as tmux was started in) and prefix-C for
the new behaviour (i.e. if I'm somewhere in a deep path and don't
want to cd manually), which works well for me.
