[Bug 67314] [edgy] Can't show root (/) in gtk file chooser after update to edgy

[Luca Gambetta]

Public bug reported:

I'm on a freshly updated dapper to edgy on amd 64. If you try to use the gtk file chooser you can't access the root file system clicking on the "File System" icon on the left of the dialog.
To reproduce:
1. open Gimp, select "File->Open...", it opens a dialog, you can see on the left the "Places", click on "File System": it shows me only a reduced set of the root directories.

2. Open Firefox, go on your favourite bittorrent downloads site, click
on the torrent file download link, it opens a dialog: select "open
with", then in the combo select "Other...", it opens a file chooser
dialog, you want to browse /usr, but there isn't a /usr directory at all

** Affects: kubuntu-default-settings (Ubuntu)
