Do you, or anyone out there, know how one can disable the sniffing and icon display in the file chooser?

The problem originates from a colleague running gedit (and other programmes using gtk) remotely on a linux machine that he doesn't really have control over (he could ask his local sysadmins - but they aren't particularly helpful, hence coming to me in the first place).
