When compiling mozilla with gtk2, it links in a part og Gnome 
statically.  I assume Firefox does the same, maybe that is the difference?

You can specify different backends (unix, w32, etc.) for the GTK file 
chooser to use. Suse has such a backend (on my Suse at least).  The 
error message must come from that backend, as no such message can be 
found in the GTK sources.
