Probably you've got to set the default directory with a call like:

 gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder(GTK_FILE_CHOOSER
(dialog), default_path);

Where default path should point (usually) to user's Documents
(/home/user/MyDocs/.documents)

If you don't do that, or pass a wrong path, it'll default to the root
directory ("/") and it'll behave like you described.
