Minimal PyGTK test case

Unpack the attached PyGTK program, change to the directory containing "select.py" and do

setenv XDG_CONFIG_HOME dotconfig
./select.py

You will see that the line 

dialog.select_filename(os.path.abspath("select.py"))

has no effect and the file is not selected.

If you edit the file dotconfig/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini and set 

ShowHidden=false

then the file is selected as expected. As there are no hidden files present this seems somewhat strange.
