There was a debate on this in the gtk mailing list recently ( subject 
was 'Usability of the GTK+ 2 file open dialog' ). I was arguing against 
your side :) The suggestion was to override the gtk2 file open dialogs 
with native ones on Windows. Personally I would prefer that the gtk2 
dialog be 'fixed' to the extent that it offers all the functionality 
that people are after, and then a Win32 theme created so that it looks 
the part as well. But anyway, feel free to rock up and add your thoughts 
to the thread.
