Yeah, I've already though on this solution, the problem I can see here
is that creating a GtkFileChooser widget and a GtkFileSelection widget
could make the code less readable, doing nonsense things for he who
doesn't know the reasons of this legacy variable (maybe this isn't a big
problem?) and will indeed become an issue if we want to compile
libgnomeui with GTK_DISABLE_DEPRECATED someday.

Maybe it's not time now to break backwards compatibility, but it should
be done some day, but at the moment... is it the more sane option we
have?
