[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.if ("GTK look and feel".equals(UIManager.getLookAndFeel().getName())) {
                UIManager.put("FileChooserUI", "eu.kostia.gtkjfilechooser.ui.GtkFileChooserUI");
            }
JFileChooser chooser = new JFileChooser(<any path to a directory>);

What is the expected output? 
The JFileChooser should be in the specified directory,

What do you see instead?

there are no exceptions

What version of the gtkjfilechooser are you using?
1.4.9

What linux/unix distro are you using and which version of gtk (use "uname
-a" and "pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0" to get both information)?

Please provide any additional information below.

Hallo the solution to this problem is in the class GtkFileChooserUI
in the method  doDirectoryChanged(File olddir, File newdir, Object source) line 
1256

if (getFileChooser().getCurrentDirectory().equals(newdir)) {
    // to avoid repeated invocations on the same directory.
    return;
}

here is the problem. Everytime when 
JFileChooser chooser  = new FileChooser(<the selected Dir>);
or 
chooser.setCurrentDirectory(<the new Dir>)
is called the currentDirectory of the FileChooser is already set to the new 
Dir, at the time when the if statement is executed. So the directory will not 
be changed in the view.
Delete this if Statement and everything works fine. 

The statement is needless cause the check is already made by the JFileChooser 
itself

Do you have a patched version of the .jar file with the fix described above 
that I can download? I've done the fix myself and rebuilt but now I get a null 
pointer exception.
