I'm using: > > linux 2.6.10 > Debian testing/unstable > gnome-session 2.8.0 > nautilus 2.8.2 > gimp 2.2.3 > gtk lib 2.4.14 Hmm..I don't see this behaviour (i'm using gnome-2.8/linux-2.6/debian-testing). With "gedit", I see that the file|open menu option always shows the file selection dialog with my home directory selected. Once I've opened a file, then the dialog comes up with the previously-used dir (sensibly), but things always revert to my home dir after a restart. With gimp run from a launcher on the gnome panel, I see my home dir displayed as the initial dir. Gimp and gedit are of course installed in /usr/bin as normal. With "gimp" run from the command-line I see that the file|open starts up with the application's "current working directory" as the displayed directory. Are you perhaps launching the app with a script that does cd /usr/bin ./gimp or similar? That would explain the problem with gimp. Your email vaguely implies that you are having this problem with other standard gnome apps, though.
