[Qt-interest] QFileDialog Question

Hi All,
So... anybody know where I can find where the QFileDialog widget stores 
it information for the history in the 'Look in:' combo box
if I'm using Linux?  (CentOs  2.6.18)

I'm not 100% sure this will even cure my problem so I'll describe what's 
happening and any input would be greatly appreciated!
I'm currently the ONLY user with the problem too so it makes it even 
weirder...

If I bring up the QFileDialog widget in my application to open a file, 
it doesn't always show the correct files and subdirectories.  It shows
the files from a different user's area.  So in the 'Look in:'  line edit 
it says /example/stacy  but it will show me the files in /example/fred.
Then if I use the up arrow to go up a directory, like in the case to 
/example  the file dialog box does not show anything.
This behavior seems to get even crazier if I try to set the 
QFileDialog's name filters or it's current directory.  But like I said, 
this is only for
_/me/_, nobody else is having this weirdness. Has anybody ever seen 
anything like this before?
I'm using Qt version 4.4.3.
Thanks-
Stacy
