Not quite. You can't expect the CWD to be set to anything for a GUI
application. The CWD only has meaning for command line applications.
If your diff tool expects the CWD to be set to a particular directory,
then that's a bug in your diff tool - it would break even if you start
it from a command line but your command line is in another directory
than it expects.

You can't. Sorry.
