ConEmu version: 130425


*Bug description*
If conemu started with:

/Dir <workdir> - Set startup directory for ConEmu and consoles.

It doesn't sync current directory with shell.

*Steps to reproduction*
1. mkdir c:\test
2. ConEmu /Dir c:\test /Single
3. c:\test>cd ..
4. c:\>rmdir c:\test
Permission denied


btw, I suppose that my way to start ConEmu and shell in specific directory possible
wrong.

ConEmu must not change its CurrentDirectory in runtime. Ever.
But, I think it is suitable not to change (physically) CD when /Dir switch is specified.
Do, it will be user responsibility to run ConEmu process in proper folder, in the root
of C:, for example.

Another thought, ConEmu may physically CD to its program folder on startup, saving its
startup folder for future use (if /Dir was not specified)

Why can I change directories? Above, you mention... "ConEmu must not change its CurrentDirectory
in runtime. Ever."  Why not?  This is a basic feature of any shell!

ConEmu is NOT a shell. It is terminal. Don't confuse terms.

BTW, original issue was fixed ... ago.
