This is what I am trying to achieve:
I start urxvt -pe tabbed. I have one tab opened with a shell running. I do
"cd /tmp" in the shell. I open another tab. I type echo $PWD in the shell
running in the new tab. It prints "/tmp".

Or, in other words, by "working directory of the currently opened tab" I
mean: the CWD of the shell process associated with the currently active
tab.

Isn't the PID of the shell the cmd_pid member of the rxvt_term struct?
That's what I use in the C function I posted.
Maybe my email's subject was not accurate enough as I also add to the the
core C code of urxvt.

Thank you for that, will definately try to do it through a window
property, which seems like a far better way.

Thanks, bye.
