This doesn't work because we are missing an override.  The C function 
gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new takes a variable number of arguments, which 
gobject-introspection does not support at the moment.  Hence your call 
to Gtk3::FileChooserDialog->new actually resolves to Gtk3::Dialog->new, 
which creates an empty dialog only.  We'd need a custom 
Gtk3::FileChooserDialog::new implementation equivalent to the C version: 
<http://git.gnome.org/browse/gtk+/tree/gtk/gtkfilechooserdialog.c#n560> 
and our old XS override: 
<http://git.gnome.org/browse/perl-Gtk2/tree/xs/GtkFileChooserDialog.xs#n17>.
