2012-06-03 Tmux has replaced screen on my modern machines. The setup I use for tmux resembles simply the screen setup I'd used before. In tmux-1.6, new windows open the shells in the pwd of the current window. That was annoying. You can restore the old (sane) behavior with: set -g default-path "$HOME" Thanks to debianforum.de for the solution.
