  Looks really nice !!!
However one of the most annoying problem I have with 1.4 file selector
is when trying (as an user) to use it to save a resource to some place. Galeon
uses it to prompt the user for the pace to save a downloaded resource, 
Unfortunately as soon as one change the directory the existing filename is lost.
This makes it very frustrating for this (specific) use.
IMHO this illustrate the difference between a File selector and a Path selector,
is this provided somewhere in the 1.4 or 2.0 platforms ?
