I think that this issue is a GNOME wide issue. Anything that uses
GNOME's file-selection dialog tends to do this. 
Eg. When selecting where to save a file in Mozilla Firefox it will
automagicly select a folder. This is somewhat irritating even if you can
go in and manually select a folder...
Its more of a usability thing than a major problem, but it is a PITA.
