Sorry for the long delay. Took me longer to move to -current than
I had anticipated.

I can confirm that the issue of the file-chooser window size
does not exist in -current, as you mentioned.

I have not had much time to play with the new installation, but
one thing I did notice is that the file-chooser choosing files
for upload is not listing files nor allowing for browsing
directories.  For saving files it works as expected.  It shows
the contents of ~/Downloads directory.  My understanding is it
is unveil-ed to ~/Downloads and /tmp with "rwc".  So, I could be
doing something incorrectly.

Thanks for reading,
