Bug Description

When opening a new window under tmux 1.9, it starts in the wd in which tmux was started, not in the one from the currently focused window.

This is a regression from 1.8.

I'll file an upstream bug after lunch, can't target to distro versions though (or assign you, Dustin).

Excerpt from CHANGES file (https://sourceforge.net/p/tmux/tmux-code/ci/1.9/tree/CHANGES):

* 'default-path' has been removed. The new-window command accepts '-c' to
  cater for this. The previous value of "." can be replaced with: 'neww -c
  $PWD', the previous value of '' which meant current path of the pane can
  be specified as: 'neww -c "#{pane_current_path}"'

My experience with this, and forgive me if it's not related, is that -c '~/dir' isn't expainding the tilde. To fix this, I've had to replace the tilde with the actual homedir of my user.

So the attached patch fixes this in Byobu with tmux 1.9, however, this patch is not compatible with tmux 1.8, so it would break users of PPA users of Byobu running on Trusty, for example.

So is there a solution for 12.04 users who use the PPA version?
