just because it stored its state inside a configuration file on disk.

in any case, this is a pointless discussion: the schema for the file
chooser configuration *is* part of the gtk+-3 installation; if it's not
installed then it's either a bug in gtk+ or a packaging issue. it's the
equivalent of an header file, or a module provided by gtk+ itself.
