Yes, you need to right-click in the file list.  Unfortunately, the

And there is no such option on the dialog itself?

You need to right-click in the file list *in the dialog itself*.

I did call "gtk_file_chooser_set_show_hidden( true)", but until I
right-clicked on the file list I wasn't able to see hidden files.

Is there a way to start  with hidden files visibility turned on?

There's a "show-hidden" property on GtkFileChooserInterface. I can't tell off
the top of my head which object implements that interface (probably the dialog
itself), but if you use g_object_set () to set it before opening the dialog, it
might have the desired effect.

But that bring me to my first question: "What is the purpose of the
function?" I thought it will set this property.

the function is just a wrapper around g_object_set(), and it does call
show-hidden.

GtkFileChooserWidget will load the stored settings when getting
mapped, so if you call gtk_file_chooset_set_show_hidden() before the
widget is visible, the widget will just use the currently stored
settings.

you can try calling gtk_widget_show() first, and then
gtk_file_chooser_set_show_hidden() to override the default; you can
also connect to the "map" signal, and call
gtk_file_chooser_set_show_hidden().

it would be good to document this behaviour; care to open a bug
against GTK+ on Bugzilla?

ciao,
 Emmanuele.
