Hi,
Is anyone opposed to me committing the trivial patch attached here. The
comment I think describes it well enough, and if you're using recent
GTK+ 2.24.x you probably already know about it.
I didn't want to commit without asking since maybe some people will find
this new "feature"[1][2] useful, I personally find it extremely
annoying, but I wouldn't want to fix it at the expense of annoying others.
Cheers,
Matthew Brush

know how to manage files :)
