[kde-linux] Working directory for Konqueror "Open with...." set to home

If I right click a file and select "Open with....", and check the "Run in terminal" and "Do not close..." checkboxes, the working directory appears to be set to my home directory, rather than the directory containing the file I selected. For example, if I right click a file, select "Open with...", and enter the command "pwd;ls", I get the following output:

/home/seitz
/home/seitz/export/support/NetApp/manage-ontap-sdk-1.6.zip

I want to be able to run a program like "unzip" using "Open with...", and have the output appear in the same directory as the input file.

Any suggestions?
