The rule for whether to switch to the configured directory might be
  if sys.stdout is None: chdir...

On windows, this is true when starting in the console with
  pyw(pythonw) -m idlelib
But there is no need to include the (Windows-only) 'w'.  It is meant to be used in the Windows icon shortcut.  The option to start in the configured directory even from the console might be seen as a plus.
