#2 Make file dialog default to previously opened file

[Dafydd Jones]

To prevent forgetting the last read issue and assisting
in opening the next file in series, make the file open
dialog default to the last opened file.

Tested on Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy.

Don't think this is really necessary since once bookmarks
are implemented this should be a non-issue. However, if this
is still wanted, it may be better to just modify the CWD
setting to append the file name on to the end of the working
directory. Then you can just strip the name of the end.
