So, I was unable to open my .emacs nor to enter my .emacs.d directory. Also, there is no textarea where I could enter a filename manually. I heard yesterday that the latest GTK file selector is so limited that it is making lots of people unhappy. I hope I get a chance to see it for myself soon so that I can come to solid conclusions. Someone suggested: If it's GTK2, then you should be able to start typing a file name and have a text field appear. You can use this text field to access dot files. Does that work for you? If so, could you explain to me what it means?
