Description of problem: The drop-down folder selection box in gtk2 applications shows up blank. Using it to select a folder will result in it correctly displaying the selected folder, but once the application quits and is started again, it once again shows up blank. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gtk2-2.24.16-1.fc18.x86_64 How reproducible: Consistently reproducible with Deluge and Banshee (and probably other applications). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start deluge-gtk. 2. Go to Edit > Preferences. 3. Look at the Folders section under the Downloads category. Actual results: The folder selection drop-downs appear blank. Expected results: The folder selection drop-downs should display the currently selected folders. Additional info: This appears to be a regression in gtk2-2.24.16-1, as it is not reproducible with gtk2-2.24.13-1. I am unsure if this bug has any effects beyond the visual glitches. Initially I believed it did not, but attempting to change download folders in Deluge does not appear to work. However, I'm unfamiliar with Deluge's config file structure (which I was using to check the actual selected folders), so I may just be missing something here. This bug is also reproducible when selecting library locations in Banshee's preferences. With Banshee, it is not necessary to quit the application to blank the selection drop-downs again after picking a folder, simply exiting the preferences dialogue and opening it again is sufficient. Note that Banshee is currently unusable due to a nasty bug involving gconf, dbus, and threading. In order to actually start Banshee and reproduce the bug there, a custom GConf2 build is probably needed. As both test machines I reproduced this bug on were running the aforementioned custom GConf2 build, I initially thought that might be the problem. However, I have since reproduced the issue using GConf2-3.2.5-3.fc18 from the repos. For more information on the custom GConf2 build see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=867133#c22
It also effects Firefox if you print to a file. "Save in folder:" does not have a folder selected.
The upstream bug now has a proposed patch to fix this. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=691040#c20
