FileChooser re-loading

I have an application that uses several FileChoosers.
I have a problem in that a FileChooser that
has been activated once will not bother to check
for new additions to the local directory before
its next invocation.

What happens is this:  I open a file, edit it and save it
under a new name.   The next time I open a file, 
the newly created file is not present in the filechooser's
file list.

If I change up a directory and then back down, the
file becomes visible.  However, for the unsuspecting
user it appears that the file does not exist.

Is there any way to tell a FileChooser to "refresh"
itself between invocations?  Do I have to delete
the FileChooser and then re-create it between each
invocation?
