Re: Issue with vim and GtkFileChooser

Oh yeah, 1:0 for Occam ;)

That does indeed mean it; it's what Emmanuele supposed and it turns out to be right.
It's rather strange for a gtk+ app to do this, is there some kind of other non-glib-based main loop running?

Yes, it gets only written, after the dialog is closed.

Thanks for the explanation, I'm not sure if I got it right, in
the eventhandlers there is often code like:
[...]
   if (gtk_main_level() > 0)
       gtk_main_quit();
[...]
If gtk_main_level() returns 1 and gtk_main_quit() is called, does
that mean that the recently used files list gets written?
