[gentoo-user] OT - Disabling hidden file view in GNOME dialog boxes

[Michael Sullivan]

Whenever I try to Open/Save in GNOME, it pulls up a dialog box that
lists hidden files as well as visible files.  Those hidden files are
hidden for a reason, the reason being that I did not consciously create
them, so I should not have to wade through them in order to get to my
files.  How can I disable them being displayed?  I don't see them by
default in nautilus - just dialog boxes.  Here's my info:

camille ~ # emerge -pv gnome

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] gnome-base/gnome-2.16.2  USE="cdr cups dvdr hal
-accessibility -ldap" 0 kB 

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB

Please help!

Do you mean the GTK file requester. Right-click on the file list and
deselect the option to show hidden files.
