Hm. Say I am gedit, and I have a text file open. I want to prompt the
user with an info bar when I detect that the file has changed, offering
to reload the file. Am I correct to say I can't do that with this model:
I have to pop open the system-controlled open dialog instead, because
the file has changed and I no longer have permission to edit it. That
doesn't seem good.
