Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.24.6-1
Severity: minor

In a recent update, GTK seems to have changed the Save-As dialog
such that it now always shows the "Recent" directories listing,
instead of the previously opened directory, as it used to do.

I disapprove of this change and would like to revert it. However,
I was never informed about it, nor can I find a configuration option
to change it. I searched the web, without success, but other than
that, I wouldn't even know where to start as there is no obvious
documentation or place of configuration.

This is amplified by usability issues with the recently used
directories list, e.g. #644222 and #644223.

Please do not change behaviour that existed for years, just like
that. It's great to add new functionality and parameters with which
users can customise their experience, but that should not mean that
everyone has to adjust without an obvious way to return to
known-good, accustomed behaviour.

Please change this back and export the configuration item, so that
only those users who want this functionality can opt-in.
