I am having a problem when trying to import recipe files into Gourmet Recipe Manager (GRM for short) like the title says. When I open GRM and click on File then Import file it opens a browse window (shown in the attached pic). This is where the problem is, it wont let me go anywhere from there or even select a file at that point. I have moved the recipes I want to import into my home folder so they are right there but I can't get them to even be selectable.
Double clicking on them just closes the browse window and doesn't import them. The recipes are valid and did import on the desktop pc, this is my laptop.
I had this kind of issue last year when I tried putting home on its own partition and ended up re-installing with everything on one partition which solved the problem. About 2 months ago I put home on its own partition again and everything has worked fine until now. Old home is gone now.
So the question is how to fix this so it will work properly?
Now for the system info:
Ubuntu Ultimate Edition 2.0 32 bit same as Ubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex 32 bit.

Here is my fdisk -l

/dev/sda7 = linux swap
/dev/sda9 = nothing right now it's for bt4 later
Gparted pic attached for a graphical view.
Strange, but it let me browse to the desktop to upload the pics.
I have even tried starting GRM using gksu with no change.
I have tried finding the solution using the search with no luck, must not be using the right search terms since I know I've seen this type of issue before.
Any help would be appreciated so thanks in advance.
