Searching a bit, it looks like dconf needs to be edited with the 
gsettings program.

This is a pain. Very systemd like.

https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GSettings.html

Those links might be handy if man isn't enough.

With gsettings, filechooser, and gtk as keywords may likely provide more 
info than I have experience with.

Here is one wiki 
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GTK%2B#File-Chooser_Startup-Location

Reading some gtk bug reports, on this topic, I noticed some mention of 
Rust here and there. Hmm.
