It seems to seriously affect what filechoosers look like (in the case of the location mode, which is mostly what I care about, an entirely new widget appears), and it seems a bit odd to direct people to read uncommented C code when they want to configure the default appearance of their filechooser dialogs. In any case, you cannot understand location mode by reading that file, other than to state that it has two possible values and they set a variable called location_mode... The gtkfilechooser file seems to be automatically generated when running GTK apps. However, it seems to get given different default values for some people despite nobody here having a clue it even existed. Most people seem to have LocationMode=path-bar, but the guy who recently built GTK 2.10 for us had LocationMode=filename-entry. What steers this? Would be good even with programmer documentation, I see nothing in the FileChooser docs about location mode. Is it possible to examine it programmatically? Now I wouldn't even know or care about any of this stuff, but LocationMode=filename-entry seems to have some weird effects on our application. The filechoosers seem to not emit various signals that they do emit when in path-bar set-up, which our application is expecting, and more seriously, the modality of the dialog seems to break down in some way (certain changes to the main GUI are allowed while the dialog is up). I haven't at all got to the bottom of these effects, and to what extent they are my fault as opposed to GTK's fault, so this isn't a bug report, I was just wondering if somebody could shed some light on this and maybe give me some pointers. At least our acceptance tests no longer depend on this file, which is progress!
