Where does GtkFileChooserDialog store bookmarks?

For most users, in $HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks. Otherwise, if you set the XDG_CONFIG_HOME environment variable (which you can inspect with env), in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/gtk-3.0/bookmarks.

From the source code:

static GFile *
get_bookmarks_file (void)
{
  GFile *file;
  char *filename;

  /* Use gtk-3.0's bookmarks file as the format didn't change.
   * Add the 3.0 file format to get_legacy_bookmarks_file() when
   * the format does change.
   */
  filename = g_build_filename (g_get_user_config_dir (), "gtk-3.0", "bookmarks", NULL);
  file = g_file_new_for_path (filename);
  g_free (filename);

  return file;
}

See that as per g_get_user_config_dir documentation that returns XDG_CONFIG_HOME if set or what XDG specifies, which is $HOME/.config.
