[Bug 1277642] [NEW] recent chooser menu, always selects first item

 

Public bug reported:

When the global menu is in use, GtkRecentChooserMenu callback always
returns first item in the menu. Tooltips (that should display full path
if enabled) don't work either.

I noticed it in Inkscape but others seem to have same problem:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/180765/gtk-recent-chooser-menu-callback-not-working

It is reproducible on this example:
http://learngtk.org/pygtk-tutorial/recentchoosermenu.html

unsetting UBUNTU_MENUPROXY solves the problem.
