Hello Thomas,

Sorry for the late reply.

OK.

I suspect this doesn’t have any effect because ‘configure’ complains:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --enable-fast-install, --enable-verbose, --with-system-npapi-headers
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Are you sure digital signatures don’t work without this patch?

This is not OK because we’d rather keep using GTK+3.

Could you try the patch below and see if it fixes the FileChooser issue?

Thanks,
Ludo’.
