File browser opens to whitescreen

Reported by ad...@dcousens.com, Aug 4 2017

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Ubuntu Chromium/58.0.3029.96 Chrome/58.0.3029.96 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Open Chromium
2. Ctrl-O
3. White screen

What is the expected behavior?
A GTK file browser

What went wrong?
The file browser fails to open correctly.

Did this work before? Yes 58.

Chrome version: 60.0.3112.90  Channel: n/a
OS Version: 4.12.3-1-ARCH

stdout
```
Gtk-Message: GtkDialog mapped without a transient parent. This is discouraged.
```

While temporarily using Firefox, which I know uses the GTK3 file browser too,  this is not an issue there.
The above warning is now displayed.

Related to my Xresources DPI settings.

Changing `Xft.autohint: 1` resolved my issue.
Does not happen in FF.

Re-introduced with version 61.0.3163.79.

The Xresources change above does NOT resolve the issue now.

If I reduce my desktop DPI down to 72 (from 180), but then use `--force-device-scale-factor=2`,  it can be seen the FileBrowser does not respect the scale factor,  and remains at the other DPI.

My steps to resolve the issue at this time is to open Chromium in a lower DPI X environment,  open the File Browser,  then return back to my 180 DPI environment,  and the File Browser works as expected.
If `~/.config` is somehow reset,  then you need to repeat the process.
