Description of problem:
The file picker shows the incorrect directories.  When I select "/" in
the left hand side of the file picker it displays the contents of
/media/idedisk4 in the right hand pane. (See attached screenshot). 
When I select /home in the left hand pane it displays the contents of
/media/idedisk3 in the right hand pane.

Here's my /etc/fstab:
=====================
# cat /etc/fstab
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/1                /                       ext3    defaults

Note the "media" and "idedisk4" notations at the top of the right hand pane and
the "/" clearly selected in the left.

Comment 2 Christopher Aillon 2005-03-31 10:48:32 UTC
The file picker is actually a gtk2 component.  Moving bug.

Comment 3 Matthias Clasen 2005-08-22 13:51:06 UTC
But the file chooser is getting its information from the gnome-vfs backend.
Moving bug.

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-03-28 16:42:53 UTC
Hi Mike,

Are you still seeing the problem, today?

Does this happen in things like gedit, too?  or just Mozilla/Seamonkey/Firefox?

what is the output of 

gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/file_chooser_backend

If you do

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/file_chooser_backend --type string gtk+

does the problem go away?

Comment 5 Ray Strode [halfline] 2007-08-14 15:55:18 UTC
The information we've requested above is required in order
to review this problem report further and diagnose/fix the
issue if it is still present.  Since there haven't been any
updates to the report in quite a long time now after we've
requested additional information, we're assuming the problem
is either no longer present in our current OS release, or
that there is no longer any interest in tracking the problem.

Setting status to CANTFIX, however if you still
experience this problem after updating to our latest Fedora
Core release and are still interested in Red Hat tracking
the issue, and assisting in troubleshooting the problem,
please feel free to provide the information requested above,
and reopen the report.

Thank you in advance.
