I'm not sure what planet you're living on.  The current gtk+
file chooser absolutely stinks!  It fails miserably in its
primary task: showing the user what files are there in
order to let the user pick one.

In particular is it very, very bad at managing its screen real
estate.  See

(The first is mostly for context.  SuSE shipped with a bad bug.)
