GTK+ 2.8 slightly changes the format in which the file chooser bookmarks are written. When RHEL5 comes around, we might see people use their home directories with both 2.4.x (from RHEL4) and GTK+ >= 2.8 (from RHEL5), and in order to prevent problems with the file chooser bookmarks in this scenario, a small patch should be applied to the file chooser backends to make them handle the new format. The attached patch make the necessary changes to the gnome-vfs file chooser backend in libgnomeui.
