Bug#367376: vim-gnome: File selector: always going back to Documents instead of the CWD

Package: vim-gnome
Severity: normal

Using the Vim 7.0 package from experimental, I really enjoy the Gnome
file selector but I experience one usability problem.

I use to start gvim from my project directory, where tags are built,
etc. and with vim 6.x and the old GTK file selector, I was used to the
path already set to the CWD, so I just have to enter one directory and
open a file. Then when searching another file, the directory was the one
previously used.

Now the Gnome selector keeps starting from $HOME/Documents, even after I
open a file from my project. I expect the first time, the file selector
displays CWD, and then when opening another file, it displays the
previously used directory.

I think I remember the Gimp used to have a similar usability problem
after the new GTK file selector transition.
