I have found the relevant difference between gtk 2.24.5 and 2.24.6, 
which has the effect -- on my system at least -- that the filter 
selection combo box is not displayed correctly in the gtk file 
chooser when using 2.24.6.

It's the added material in the function filter_create(), in 
gtkfilechooserdefault.c. I'm attaching a diff (simply commenting out 
the new stuff), which if applied to 2.24.6 makes it work correctly 
for me.
