FileDialog in open/save mode opens the default directory location for xawt and current directory for motif. This is reproducible on Linux and solaris both.

Since xawt is the default on Linux, the file dialog functionality differs from 1.4.2 to 1.5 (though 1.4.2 is motif based).

java version "1.5.0-beta"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0-beta-b32)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0-beta-b32, mixed mode)

Steps to reproduce:

Create some temp directory and copy filedialog.java in that directory

1. Compile filedialog.java
2. Run with xawt mode
3. Click on open or save button
4. Default directory will be opened in respective mode

5. Run with motif mode
6. Current directory will be opened in respective mode.
