here are some open bugs regarding these issues:

"there should be a mac os-like tree view"
	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58637

"there should be a NeXT-like multi-list view"
	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58638

"look-in tab should display full/partial path"
	http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58655

i personally like the last one - and the other two are post 1.0.

i don't necessarily like it either - the functionality is (well, will
be) in the favorites listing in the drop down and doesn't take up so
much space.

anyway -- please feel free to post UI bug reports on the file selector
as you see fit.
