Compiles and works for me.

It's inconsistent for me, mainly with regards to opening new panes.

Right after launching Yakuake, if I make a new tab or split Left/Right or Top/Bottom, Yakuake will open in the current working directory instead of the default home directory, as expected.

There seems to be a little bit of lag as well, though I'm not sure what can be done about that. If I change my current directory and open a new tab too quickly, it will open to the previous directory instead of my current one - pretty much if I try to spawn a new tab before the title bar can update with the new directory, this will happen. Don't think much can be done about this.

However, if I change directories and split left/right or top/bottom, Yakuake will open the new session in the original directory that it was in when I launched Yakuake. Using "two terminals, split horizontally" works fine, but "split left/right" which makes a new pane to the right of your current session always opens to the wrong directory. Not sure what's different about that process compared to opening a new tab or new set of split terminals.

You're right, there's probably little we can do: we need to wait for the shell to update the cwd, konsole to pick up on it and the signals to be propagated through to Yakuake. However I'm not sure if this is really much of an issue. I can only forcefully trigger it within milliseconds after changing the directory. While regularly using my terminal I've never ran into this situation. It's also worth noting that Konsole itself behaves the same way.

Thanks, I haven't discovered that yet and will look into it!

I'd also like to turn around the order of the Terminal constructor's parameters and keep the parent-widget as the last parameter, as it commonly is for KDE/Qt classes.

@mweepigeon I've addressed the issues you've discovered. Newly opened split-panes now also inherit the current working directory, like they would in Konsole.

LGTM modulo a few nitpicks:
