Agreed.  It's something I copied from 1.8.12, and didn't spend enough 
time thinking if the global was necessary. 

It is the storage space where the callback function (for when OK is 
clicked) stores the filename.  I see that given the lifetime of the 
dialog box that local storage (in gnc_file_dialog) would have sufficed.

I have attached another patch (to be applied after the previous one).  
This is also in the gda-dev branch.  This changes the global fb_info to 
a local variable in gnc_file_dialog.  Its lifetime exceeds that of the 
dialog which uses it.  I tried this code, and successfully opened a 
file, so the communication between the callback and gnc_file_dialog 
still works.

Thanks, Derek,
Mark

I might (can't say won't after this one :-), but I am mainly interested 
in getting a database backend.
