I was hoping to perhaps provoke discussion of the new behavior of the file dialog. Prior to this patch:
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-cvs/2002/06/0028.html
the default behavior was to start the open file dialog in the current directory. After the patch, the default behavior is to start in the C:\My Documents directory, though this can be changed with a registry key.
While this is the default behavior on Windows, I am not sure that wine should copy this behavior so precisely. I personally think that the old behavior was better. I would think that very few Linux users would actually use the C:\My Documents directory. But perhaps my own preferences are coloring my views. I think the command line oriented nature of Linux would call for a occasional differences in behavior.
