you're confused. single click selects. double click activates. if you
make single click activate, you can't select properly.

Well you are true to some respect... What I was describing is apparently a nautilus property which takes effect on the desktop as well, but not any filechooser dialogues. From the top of my mind, I wonder if you could force the activate signal to be triggered when the select one is triggered; or destroy/rebuild the filechooser when a user single-clicks/selects a directory pointing to the new one instead this time as a workaround.
