I am happy that people noticed that, too. The question
is what can we do to fix this?

My feeling is that at least 2 things could be done:

1. Make automatic selection of file
   optional (like its being done in KDE,
   in grey)

2. Do not display additional file open dialog when I *already* typed
   file name.

BTW, before doing this post I've tried to search for "file dialog 
usability GTK". To my regret mail.gnome.org mailman search
is not working ("The requested URL /mailman/search was not found on this 
server."),so I searched google a little, did not found any good
results and posted here... Althrough this search returns more
results:
