Default Location in GTK+ File Chooser
Today I finally got annoyed enough with Ubuntu's GTK+ defaulting my file choosers to $HOME/Documents rather than $HOME. I can see how this would be useful, but Documents contains a few files, whereas I generally want to get into ~/Pictures, or ~/Programming. Luckily sebuild saves the day, by telling me about GTK_DEFAULT_FILECHOOSER_DIR. One quick export later:
export GTK_DEFAULT_FILECHOOSER_DIR=$HOME
And voilà, it works. Now please can the comments section of this
