File>Open problems with empty removable medium slot

Link to original bug (#695063)
Description
- A removable medium (for instance a memory card) is once used in a machine in connection with a Gimp file operation (loading an image, saving it, etc.).
- At a later time Gimp is launched again in the same machine whith no card present in the same slot.
- On selecting the File<Open option of the main menu, the contents of the right half of the emerging selection window are continously trembling and a modal error message window appears (with the approximate content "No disk in the unit. Insert a disk in unit X:"; I am using a translated version). Trying to close it and get rid of it by clicking any of the available buttons is rather annoying as none of them seems to work. What I think that really happens is that the error window duly disappears with every clicking but is immediatly recreated again and again a lot of times (maybe 10 or 20, although in the end it disappears if one is persistent enough).
