Description Matthias Clasen 2008-12-15 03:57:55 UTC 
This was reported in Fedora: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=473143

There is a long-standing problem (at least since Fedora Core 3) in zenity's
file selection dialog, when used for opening rather than saving files. If given
a file name via the --filename= option, zenity will not select that file name,
but instead triggers a failed assertion. There is nothing in zenity's
documentation to suggest --filename should only be used with the --save option,
and it's reasonable to expect that you should be able to provide a default or
current filename for an open dialog, so I'd call this a bug.
