Re: GTK file open dialog usability...

["Ricardo Malafaia" <rmalafaia gmail com>]

I personally like it very much:  it's very keyboard friendly.  Some
people will find it a little disturbing that there's no visible direct
textbox to type in, and i would agree.  Not a problem for newbies who
only use the mouse to select anyway, but a little frustrating for
people who wish to use the keyboard but don't know GTK.

Like the other guy, i wasn't able to reproduce it in Ubuntu Dapper
with GTK+ 2.8.  Is it the courtesy of some polish by the Ubuntu guys
or the GTK guys fixing a bug? :)
