[BUG] Cannot open any file dialogs

[thomas-maurice]

Type: Bug

Hello !

I am unable to open any sort of file dialogs, wether it is when trying to open a new file, saving one, or adding a folder to the workspace.

This happens when trying to do it with the UI (Add folder to workspace) or from keyboard shortcuts (Ctrl+o)

The logs are unhelpful (i see the open file button press being registered when running with --verbose but nothing happen an no error is logged)

Do you have files.simpleDialog.enable configured?

[gjsjohnmurray]

Are the OS dialogs being opened behind the VS Code window?

Somehow changing the XDG_SESSION_TYPE value to gnome-session fixed it, I am unsure what happened, but I am going to mark this as resolved as it looks more like an issue on my system than anything else
