This is pretty off-topic, and probably not the right place, but
in case ANYONE knows...  I *abhor* the gtk filechooser.  It's
notion of autocompletion is entirely braindead.  You can NOT type
quickly with it as it autocompletes and changes context on you w/o
intervention, so you have to typ slowly and watch as it completes
and puts you at a new cursor point in the autocompleted filepath.

HOW the heck do you disable that horrible "feature"?  I would hope
the gtk devs would have made some .gtkrc variable for this.

thanks,
