Re: [gtk-list] file selection widget design problem?

[Patrick Rogan <rogan lycos com>]

Yes, I'll second the motion that this is a bug.  At one point the file
selection worked correctly, then around the gtk 1.0 release, something
changed. It's most annoying, and inconsistant with every other toolkit
or operating system.

Also, why is the no link to the Wilber Works bug report page off of the
gtk home page?
