The GUI dialog opens in the current working directory (result of `pwd` or
$PWD). It is the current working dir of GUI, i.e. the one which was current
when g.gui was started (e.g. automatically during start of GRASS GIS).

If you change dir in terminal, GUI doesn't see this (the process is
Independent). You can, however, change the working dir for GUI, e.g. by
typing cd into the GUI Command Console.

Let us know if this was helpful info.
