Not easy to decide what do here, we don't have real datas to determine if the "recently used" is useful for most users or not. Reading through the upstream bug comments and the user feedback over recent cycles it feels like "cwd" would be a better default though for our users/Unity though, +1 from me to override the default.
I don't know how we could change GTK2 without a patch to change the default, but if other flavors want the same behaviour adding a patch should be no issue -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/959505 Title: gedit wants to save in "recently used" by default Status in GTK+ GUI Toolkit: Fix Released Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gtk+3.0” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Clean install of 12.04, open gedit from the dash, type into a new document then File -> Save. By default the save dialog is positioned on "Recently used" which cannot be saved into. Seems a bit strange to default there. Would ~/Documents not make more sense?
