~/.config is a typical location for XDG_DATA_HOME I believe
(so setting that env var should change the base location
of user specific gtk+ config files).

that looks pretty simple, look mine says:

<gtkfilechooser>
  <location mode="path-bar"/>
  <show_hidden value="true"/>
  <expand_folders value="false"/>
</gtkfilechooser>

looks like some user specific preferences of how the
filechooser was when last closed (and should be when
next reopened...)
