In case anybody is about to fall for the same trap I just did and thinks
"I can fix these now", a little bit of secret information...

These two both have patches (which have been around since mid-December).
The patches still apply cleanly (sans the normal ChangeLog problems) and
everything seems good. So these are not so much "problems" as "fixes
waiting to be applied".

This one and many others like it are going to be most easily fixed when
the patch in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133885 is
applied. This latter bug fixes up glade so that we can turn on the magic
toggle that tells libgnomeui to use GtkFileChooser instead of
GtkFileSelector.

Pretty much anything that uses a GnomeFileEntry widget in their glade
file then needs to be loaded up, have the "Use FileChooser" option
selected for the appropriate widget and then the diff sent to bugzilla.
Bug #132902 is just an example of this, I suspect (it is the
gnome-theme-chooser).

Has a patch, but the patch needs the be worked over with a hammer a
little bit to make it apply.

So the low-hanging fruit here turns out to be dragging on the ground.
Maintainer love is needed.

Cheers,
Malcolm
