A new file selection widget is also being written for Gnome.
It might be nice if they weren't too different, since Gnome & GTK+ apps will
coexist for quite a while.

Hello hackers,

I have worked on a new GnomeFileSelection widget that is meant to
replace GtkFileSelection in GNOME apps.  It is not complete yet, but
you can have a look at it here if you like:

    http://fasullo.comm2000.it/~ettore/gnome-file-selection.tar.gz

The main differences with GtkFileSelection are:

 - icon-based view as in GMC;

 - navigation toolbar (back, forward, up, home);

 - filter menu;

 - "show dotfiles" toggle.
