You could, and it could be dynamically linked. However, this means 
installing almost all of the software stack locally, and that will be 
one big hassle. I would certainly not recommend that.

I found the file where these settings are kept on my system:

~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini

However, this is probably not really available for your version (you can 
always check of course)
