flickering gnome/gtk save dialog

I came back from spring break to do a nice pacman -Syu, and afterward, I noticed that my save dialog for apps like gimp and firefox go berzerk when I try to save, as the dialog rapidly alternates between two widths:

I use fluxbox, and I let pacman do its thing when checking for dependencies, no mask-deletion of packages either.  Has anyone experienced this, and hopefully solved it?  Thanks

Same problem with e-17 and scite, when the save box is in the compact mode if you select the browse other folder options it's fine.

Re: flickering gnome/gtk save dialog

I've another problem here, occured after lastest libx11 upgrade afaik.
I use openbox in GNOME, and whenever a small box/dialog opens (for example for deleting files) this small dialog window pops up and hides again in damn fast speed, again and again. "Dialog box appears" , "Dialog box is gone" , "Dialog box appears" . and so on ........ until i managed to click "Cancel" or "OK". Very annoying, because im forced to use sloooow Metacity again sad

Re: flickering gnome/gtk save dialog

I don't have a solution, but if you click the "browse for other folders" button, it will stop. So the question I have is is it possible to get the GTK file dialog box to always open in full view?
