Re: help on disabling file-chooser

Sounds like an exercise in futility.

If you are doing this to prevent people from saving something because
of commercial/security/whatever interests, and if the users will have
a real interest in working around the limitations you try to impose,
they will. And there is nothing you can do to stop them.

The very purpose of the license of GTK+ (LGPL) is to allow your users
to replace GTK+ with a modified version. For instance one where they
have re-instated the functionality you have removed.

The same license that gives you the right to modify GTK+ gives the
end-users of your modified version the right to revert the
modification, and share such a reverted copy with others as they
please.
