Hi Stefan, thanks for the response. I had to apply the patch by hand, since I've been away and the patch was against an older revision that the one I now have post-update.
I have only used this feature with popup windows, and the patch doesn't make any difference to me with those. I'm using the MOTIF toolkit. I am still able to click on the OK button even when in a directory that does not contain the file. Looking into it, maybe it is because x-file-dialog does not support PREDICATE? Or am I misreading code?
