I have a self-built gtk+-2.20.1 stack on 32 bits Linux (SUSE-11.1).

Again, there _must_ be file updates in the directory. I.e., say, create
an infinite loop (in a different terminal) which, say, once per second (or
more frequently) performs 'touch' on a file or a number of them.

Or you did this ?

In my case the constantly modified file was a log file of my application.
I worked around the problem by storing the log file in a separate
directory which is _not_ a subdirectory to be listed by
Gtk2::FileChooserDialog - this "solved" the problem.

Thanks,
  Sergei.
