Capt.,
Appreciate your response.
I'm buy no means a gtk expert (as a matter of fact I'm new
to GTK) but I did go thru the source code and combed thur
lots of docs (and email archives) at;
http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/gtk/gtkfileselection.html
this all leads to a chains of widgets
gtkfileselection-> gtkfilesel-> gtkclist->*dir_list & *file_list
I supose there are some flags/modes for one of these 
widgets that would probally do the trick. After exhausting 
my research, I though, gee, I can't be the only one that wants
to see hidden files with such a common widget, someone 
must have figured this out before. Wha la, I'll email the list!
So do you have any suggestions?
