Common sense, please. It sounds like a grave bug. Even if you deal with
"all of the hidden files", the file dialogue (or one of the components it
depends on) must not crash. Try to ensure that none of your installed
packages are damaged (examine "rpm -Va"), capture a full strack-trace [1]
by running an application like gedit from within a terminal, and submit a
bug report a bugzilla.redhat.com

Could it be that some updates to gtk stuff have come through, but you
have yet to reboot ?

When I go to save, save-as or even open documents with applications that
use the GTK file picker dialog the application crashes. By changing the
option in OpenOffice.org (Tools->Options->General "Use OpenOffice.org
dialogs") I was able to resolve the problem for OpenOffice. However,
gedit and others are still failing.

I've blown away .gnome* and all of the files in /tmp and changed SELinux
to permissive with no success.

I'm thinking that this was caused by bring in my entire home directory
to a fresh install of Fedora-9. This does not occur with other users,
which makes me think that it is somehow being caused by bringing in all
of the hidden files.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Clifford

I've reboot several times (running a laptop in various settings.) but
that hasn't affected the problem.

Are we talking about Linux or Windows? What in GTK would require a
reboot? I thought GTK was related to graphics, not the base OS.


Just trying to learn.

You don't need to reboot. You do need to restart your desktop. The
easiest way is to log out and in again. If you want to also restart your
display manager (gdm or kdm) it's best to go to level 3 and then back to
5, i.e. from a console windows, as root, do "init 3; init 5".
