Bug Description

I'll try to explain this bug more precisely: If I launch gdmsetup from the
system menu, select the interface with themes tab & click on install a new
theme, the gtk file selector dialog starts in my home directory (which is
correct) BUT if I then click on Desktop or Home root's dekstop or home directory
is selected.

I think this is a bug, since I'm using sudo & I should be redirected to my home
or desktop folder (not root's one). This behaviour is not consistent.

I'm using breezy up to date. Hope this is clear.
