This means that if you are working with files in a directory with a long path name, like:
~/Network/HAMMER10/public/disks/hdc5/Pictures/MaineVac
you have to work your way through the whole directory structure to open one file. Opening a second file in the same directory makes you walk through the whole file structure again. That is, Gimp doesn't seem to remember the last directory you were working in.
I cannot find any configuration file for gimp which would change this behavior.
cd ~/.gimp-1.3
find . | grep Documents
shows nothing of interest.
Doing the same thing in /etc/gimp/1.3 shows nothing.
The command for starting gimp (gimp-1.3) is not a script, but the binary itself, so nothing to tweak there.
However,
strings gimp-1.3 | grep Documents shows this:
~/My Documents/
So, it looks like they have compiled this directory into the binary.
If you go to the directory with the file browser and click on it, this saves walking repeatedly through the file structure, but, you have to choose each time if you want to open with gimp-1.3 or gimp-remote-1.3, not very convenient.
I could edit the binary to point to a symbolic link, but that seems excessive.
Any insights appreciated.

P.S. Please don't suggest getting the source and recompiling. I am really into this Debian thing. apt-get install is habit forming.
