Well, it's 50% fixed. If you supply a default filename to the dialog and
the user simply clicks the OK button to accept the default, you'll find
that result.paths[0] contains something like:

/path/to/some/directory/..

If the user types something in the filename box, then you do indeed get
the absolute path back. Also, this bug only applies to GTK2, i.e. it
works as expected on Windows. Methinks a posting to the wxPython-users
list is in order...

Ahh, excellent. I was seeing this occasionally in an application of
mine.
