Hi Colin,

I see the same behaviour, in fact AFAIK GTK HID has always behaved this way.

My workaround is to use a file manager to browse to my project folder
and then double click on the .pcb file to launch PCB.
When I then perform File | Load netlist file, File | Load element data
to paste-buffer, etc. the file chooser opens up pointing to
my home directory, but a single click on "Recently used" takes me to
the directory that holds my .pcb file.  I'm working with
Fedora 13 with Gnome desktop.

Another workaround is to open a shell, cd to your work directory and
launch PCB from the shell (in my case "pcb PSU.pcb")
The file chooser will now default to opening to your work directory.
