Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:
- open gedit
- hit 'open file' in gedit
- in the open file dialog, go to your Documents folder (or any other folder)
- run this in a console: chmod 777 Documents
- in the open dialog, a new bogus Documents folder appears under the real ~/Documents folder

(if you go out of Documents and back in, the bogus subfolder won't be there)

It happens on all GTK applications I could try.

Tested on ubuntu-12.04.1 and ubuntu-10.04.
