You'd most likely only be able to see the last N levels, as with the
pane view in the os/x finder.  Basically you can see as much as the
width of the dialog will allow, and if where you need isn't in view
you'd click on the first level and it'd re-set itself to where you
clicked being the 'end' and showing you the previous N levels.

Maybe.  Personally I'm not sold on this idea just yet, but figured I'd
throw in my $0.02
