After playing a bit more, it seems like the behavior is actually the
following.

when the new terminal opens, the working directory is actually the working
directory from the previous terminal, however fish thinks the pwd is the
home directory (was this hardcoded somewhere?)
as a result if I run a command like cd, or ls etc it will behave as if its
in the proper directory. However in the case of ls, it'll get dumped back to
the home directory immediately after ls returns :-/

this is the behavior in both konsole (kde4) and gnome-terminal, so i'm
pretty sure its a fish issue.

thanks!
