Puzzle on Gtk FileChooserDialog

I have learned and used Gtk+ and Gtkmm for a long time. But no matter Gtk+ or Gtkmm, I have found the same problem about GtkFileChooserDialog: it can generate Linux-style view, but now I'm designing a kind of software for both Linux user and Windows user, I'm sure it's not acceptable for windows user when they use it, how can I solve the problem?
And another puzzle, GtkFileChooser didn't remember latest opened system location, why? Is my inccorrect use?
Waiting for your reply! Thx anyway.

Note

Old versions of the file chooser's documentation suggested using gtk_file_chooser_set_current_folder() in various situations, with the intention of letting the application suggest a reasonable default folder. This is no longer considered to be a good policy, as now the file chooser is able to make good suggestions on its own. In general, you should only cause the file chooser to show a specific folder when it is appropriate to use gtk_file_chooser_set_filename(), i.e. when you are doing a File/Save As command and you already have a file saved somewhere.

I did not use GTK on WIndows, so I can't help about that.

Cheers !
