A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Using the Motif JFileChooser, if you type a directory into the path textfield, and a filename into the filename textfield, and press OK, the file returned ignores the directory name just entered, and uses the current default directory.

This is different from standard Solaris apps, such as "Text Note"

STEPS TO FOLLOW TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM :
1. Run the attached program
2. Type "/xyzzy" into the directory textfield
3. Type "magig.cookie" into the filename textfield
4. Press the OK Button

EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
I expect the program to print
   /xyzzy/magic.cookie
ACTUAL -
The program prints
   <current directory>/magic.cookie

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.
