federico's bug url just points to a patch for gtk-2.6 that has not yet
been committed nor reviewed. Evolution cannot depend on an unreleased
gtk version or a patch.

we will be working on another fix for 2.0.1 so that we can still use the
filechooser (with an added checkbox to allow the user to override file
vs folder selection) which I'm not entirely happy with, but at least
then we'll be using everyone's favourite file-selector-of-the-week

however, that is too much work/risk for the 2.0.0 release

changing to FileSel is the only solution for 2.0.0
