Bug Description
Hello,
It seems that for certain programs - non-GTK ones ? It happens for Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre Office, Videolan, PDF Mod - Gtkfilechooser does not remember the choice I make for the sorting type of files in the window.
For example, when I want to open a file in an application, or join a document to a mail, if I click on "Open" or "Attach" menu, it runs a Gtkfilechooser window with the file managers shortcuts and files available in folders.
I like to have the documents sorted from modification date, the most recent in top of the window.
For most programs, choice is "saved" by Ubuntu and the next time documents are well sorted by recent dates.
But with Firefox, Thunderbird, Libre Office, Videolan, always the sorting re-goes to "name"...

Even if I sort by dates to select a file, and just a second after I reopen the Gtkfilechooser window, sorting preference is disabled and by default on alphabetical name.
