Unfortunately, right now this is application-determined, not file
selector determined.  Each app that uses the file selector must specify
the directory to start at, otherwise the default is used (ie, ~).  I got
pissed off enough that I implemented last-directory-used for gedit.

Arguably, it should be controlled by the file selector APIs though.
