Bug Description

I was uploading files to Flickr (through the web UI, just selected them straight off the CF card in Firefox), deleted them afterwards, unmounted the CF card, and resumed browsing. I accidentally hit Ctrl-O in Firefoxat one point, and was greeted with this:
http://www.fooishbar.org/tmp/file-dialog-of-despair.png

It's a bit hostile: I haven't asked it to do anything it can't do, just open a file. Surely it should just fall back to the Home directory if so?

I've reported this against GTK because I think FF just uses the stock GTK filepicker, but if it doesn't, feel free to reassign.
