    For what it's worth, in my commercial application which predates

"old" fltk chooser
    would be used, or the native chooser.

    This way if there was any stability problems with the native
chooser, the old chooser
    could still be used, as the file chooser is a pretty mission
critcal feature in apps that
    use it for File -> Open/Save/etc.


Yup, see FLTK's Fl::option(OPTION_PRINTER_USES_GTK) which the user can
disable (OFF) either for them or system-wide with fltk-options, or the
program can set it in main().

Obvious drawback: as the option name implies (not literally, but anyway)
this disables loading the GTK filechooser which is not optimal but
should prevent the crash if that's the cause.
