Re: gnome file open dialog.

[Matthew Walton <mxw00u Cs Nott AC UK>]

Isn't the GNOME file dialog just the standard GTK+ one? GTK+ certainly needs
a better dialog - a button for the ~ directory should be there at the very
least, and I would definitely prefer something closer to what KDE2 has. One
hopes GTK+ 2 has better dialogs planned, but it would be nice to see better
ones added to GTK 1.2. Surely it's not too hard to replace the dialog with
something nicer without breaking the interface? That's the point of using a
fake OO architecture for the library in the first place isn't it? And if one
can't be put in GTK+, perhaps one should be added to gnome-libs.
