The behaviour is already built into vim. But currently it only works
when dragging a file onto gvim and holding down the shift key. I don't
know, whether vim can distinguish between being called from a file
manager and from the commandline.
Hm, but wait, you should be able to script something? Using the solution
from Jürgen, that can be slightly improved to the following:
(untested)
au VimEnter * if empty($TERM) | sil cd %:h | endif
I think, it doesn't even matter, if the filename is given as relative or
absolute path, because even when given just the filename without a path
or no filename at all, ':h' will expand to '.' which is save in that
case. In any case, the check for an empty $TERM variable should prevent
changing the directory, when called from the command line.

Christian
