So - nothing changed in this area, that I'm aware of in recent memory.

I did the work on this interface when the gtk+ file-selector was implemented.
The XFilePicker interface is hideously broken - in it's multi-select mode it
returns a common path prefix as the first entry and then a list of file-names
that can be appended that that URL.

That sound sensible - until you hit things like a 'search' meta-URL where each
and every multi-selected filename can be a totally different URL. Also the code
to use this multi-selection feature is horribly tangled everywhere and spends
extra time and code unwinding this damage.

Hence the XFilePicker2::getSelectedFiles() method - which returns all the
selection as clean URLs.

Of course, not all fpickers implement that - patches to fix that much
appreciated; it shouldn't be hard. But the gtk+ file picker cannot return more
than one file reliably via this legacy / back-compat method.

I wonder if that is your issue.

Can you confirm that like-for-like - ie. using the gtk+ file-picker in
LibreOffice 3.3 this really does work ? :-) since very little has changed
there.
