Interesting. I do most testing on WinXP, myself, and did not run into this, so 
far.

Could you experiment some more with this? What if you
- cd to another user's directory
- create a new folder under Documents and Settings, and cd there
- cd to some sub-folder of the initial wd
- cd to some other directory with spaces in its name
and open a file dialog?

What if you cd to a safe location, open a file dialog, and then click Places-

Could you check, whether you have read rights to all directories up the path?

Ok, sounds useful, indeed. The starting dir would probably be a radio-control 
of
- directory where rkward was started (default)
- home directory
- specific directory: __________________

Could you create a ticket for both, or place it on the feature plan? I'm still 
busy on a different area (more on that, when done).
