Just tried this in kwrite - clearly the dialog with the most features
out of any platform, by several factors. ;-) We'll let the UI team 
decide if that's good or not ;-)

I tend to agree, though I think it'd be harmless to have this a "pref"
in the sense that if you want to build tarballs and edit text files
you can change it. (Based on the assumption that we already have to
make it abstract to that extent really, if we're going to support the
various platform-specific stuff.)

Forgot to mention in my original mail - volunteers to figure out the
API and implement would be very welcome. Maybe someone who's already
written a custom one for their app? Any takers?
