Hi, This is a followup on Debian bug <http://bugs.debian.org/270251>.

Galeon only makes use of standard Gtk widgets. I think that Galeon uses "GtkFileChooser" for the dialog you mention in 1.3.18-2. My guess concerning your problem is that the display of the files you browse probably involves using gnomevfs, which probably does some MIME types detection with the content of the file (the information is then used to display the icon for this file type for example). This work in a similar way as the "file" utility. Since this dialog has evolved, I think it doesn't render the content of the default directory initially (you've got to hit browse for the content to be displayed). Is the current behavior acceptable? If yes, I'll close this bug, if not, I'll reassign this to Gtk. Regards, -- Loïc Minier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
