I experienced this since 0.99.0. It's easy to fix - if you know how. Just
connect "destroy" of the file selection to the function you connected to the
Cancel button and you should be happy again. BTW: I think this should be done
by default - It has been working up to gtk+-971201 without connecting
"destroy", so why doesn't it do this way since 0.99.0? Owen? <- Let's see if
this draws attention :-)

My advice to all having weird problems with gtk programming: Keep a copy of
the gimp source somewhere on the box, if you're in trouble see how it's
handled there, it saved me a lot of time (and nerves)

Yes. I still do not know if I should consider this as a bug or a feature...
