-Subject: Settings: Allow directories to be selected (Bug #12832)
-
-Gtk 2.24.31 imported some Gtk3 code that breaks directory
-selection when using a file filter while in directory mode.
-We need to add directories to the filter for the
-GtkFileChooser, otherwise you can't select directories
-while in directory mode...
-Cherry-picked from:
