Hi!

I've asked this on the general openSUSE list but so far have had no luck.

Since GTK and GNOME are closely related, I thought maybe someone here had
something to say on this.

I'm running KDE on 10.2, and would like to change the default path
opened by the file open dialogue that is used by GTK applications. Now the
dialogue always opens my home folder, and I'd like to have it
open one of my documents folders instead, so I don't have to navigate
there manually. I regularly use a number of Gnome/GTK apps, and it would
be nice to get this set somewhere. On KDE I can simply go to the Control
Centre and set paths there.

I tried running Gnome and looked at the Control Centre there, but found
nothing. I also tried something called GTK or Gnome configuration etc.
tool that allowed me to change system and application settings, but using
the find to search for '~' or '~/' only resulted some application
specific settings.

I tried to google for this but found nothing there either. Nor do any of
the .gnome* folders in my home folder contain anything that would seem to
affect this. 

I'm starting to have a feeling the apps simply use $HOME or something
similar and I can't change what the dialogue opens. It would be nice to
still receive an educated opinion on this before giving up.

Thanks for any ideas!

Regards,
Tero Pesonen
