Thank you!  That's what I needed.  I wasn't sure if the autocompletion 
path was the same as the open/save path, but it does make sense.

I had looked at this, but wasn't sure where to call it.  I don't want 
the setting to override any setting other than the initial setting, 
which currently defaults to the users' working directory.

Thanks again, I'll do that. 

I notice you guys are making alot of headway with things such as these 
(gtk bookmarks for instance - very nice feature).  Any chance, in the 
future, that default directories like these could be set in a config 
file somewhere? (or in gconf)
