Hi,

I'm out travelling right now, back saturday, but I'll have a look at
it when I get back. Unless you beat me to it, that is :-)

FWIW, I've seen this on my system; one interesting thing is that it
happens in "GNOME Image Viewer" but not in "GNOME PDF Viewer", both
with the GTK2.4.x file selector. Hmm..

Cheers,
David
