What do you mean by "changes something"? My experience doesn't match this: settings in that file seem to remain, even though the file is sometimes apparently "touched" (I haven't worked out why or how). For instance, I just changed the value of "show hidden files" in the popup menu from the GUI, but it isn't reflected in the file. If I edit the file however, the default setting of that parameter changes, and remains changed. Is there any way to change "location mode" from the GUI? As I outlined in my previous mail, that setting seems to be auto-generated to different things which have a large bearing on both the appearance and behaviour of the filechooser.
