file open with gimp 2.2.4 and AFS

a gimmick at least to avoid access to path /afs.
I think the same problems can occur with nfs mounted
file systems.
Before that I operated with gimp 2.0.3 where only
the path was scanned where gimp was started. This
worked fine.
File a bug against gtk+. The old filesel special cased /afs and /net,
the new one doesn't appear to.
I think this is not the fact. If I compile
gtk+-2.4.14/examples/filesel/filesel.c
That uses GtkFileSelection, not GtkFileChooser. Like I said,
GtkFileSelection (the old, deprecated widget) special cased things.
GtkFileChoose does not.
this program works fast and fine. There you have a pulldown menu
which contains the cwd and all supaths. But without inspecting them
until I select them!
On the other hand the 'open file' of gimp 2.2.4 offers one clickable
button per subpath. And as I see on the console these subpaths are
inspected. That is absolutely nonsens.
The fact that the dialogs look *completely* different, as you noticed,
should've been a tip off that you were testing different things.
So if some of you can tell me where is the source file I can change
I will do.
If you feel like trying to fix it yourself, start with
gtkfilesystemunix.c. There isn't any special casing infastructure there
though, so if you were hoping for a one-line change, it's going to be
more work than that.
