Bug#871690: libglib2.0-0: gtk filechooser places populates with *all* filesystems

[martintxo]

Package: libglib2.0-0
Version: 2.53.4-3
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Now, when I go to open a file with any gtk (2 & 3) app, now I see the
filechooser dialog "places" side panel populated with all the filesystem in the
machine. They are the same as the output of: 'df -a'. I attach a screenshot of
this dialogue as "dialog-wrong.png"

The past days the dialoges where well. I see that in these days the unique
packages that have changed and will be the culprit are (taken form
/var/log/apt/history):
  libglib2.0-bin:amd64 (2.52.3-1, 2.53.4-3
  libglib2.0-data:amd64 (2.52.3-1, 2.53.4-3)
  libglib2.0-0:amd64 (2.52.3-1, 2.53.4-3)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

I download these packages from snapshot.debian.org, in the version 2.52.3-1,
and install them:

$ export LANG=C && sudo dpkg -i libglib2.0-data_2.52.3-1_all.deb
libglib2.0-bin_2.52.3-1_amd64.deb libglib2.0-0_2.52.3-1_amd64.deb
dpkg: warning: downgrading libglib2.0-data from 2.53.4-3 to 2.52.3-1

With this now the filechooser dialogue is good, you can see it in the atached
file "dialog-good.png".

But if I made an apt-get upgrade now:

Now the dialogue is wrong again :-/
