problem with file selection dialog boxes under linux apps

[Joey Mingrone]

Hi all:

I've noticed a strange problem with the file dialogue boxes, in some
linux applications such as acroread7 and linux-firefox.  The problem
is that not all directories are listed.  For example, when I browse to
/usr/ the directory local doesn't show up.  If I open the native
firefox instead of linux-firefox all directories are properly listed.
