[patch] PDF filter in open file dialog not working

[LoneFox]

I guess mime type support requires some package that I don't have installed in my system. Why not use .pdf extension in addition to the mime type?

I received an e-mail with the same issue which was caused by a "very minimal" Gtk+ installation. I don't have the details, though.

I applied the patch you supplied in commit [249] and when I tested it worked with both the pattern matching and mime type matching.

Thank you.
