In any case, WordPerfect started this particular bit of silliness and it made 
its way into Win95/98/NT because it was *useful*.  Admitted, generalized open 
from a "save as" dialog is dubious, but basic file manager ops strike me as a 
good idea.

(IOW CORBA is probably out of place here.  If you think you need it, 
reconsider whether the functionality you're after belongs in a file dialog.)
