1. start gedit
2. open the open-file dialog
3. enlarge the file-chooser dialog
4. select a file and open it
5. close gedit
6. open gedit again
7. open the open-file dialog

it still on the system-default state.

it should remember it's size between it's invocations.

or at least, is there a system-wide (session-wide) (gconf?) setting that
specifies the initial-size of a file-chooser-dialog?

it's extremely inconvenient as it is for now.

btw. imho the default size should be a lot bigger.
i don't understand why is a dialog like this so small. it's not on the screen
all the time after all. i always use it in a near-fullscreen (half to 2/3 of the
screen) size.
