I personally really like the method that windows uses, where you can
view "your computer" and all it entails.  Have sort of logical
folder/view which contains links to your disks and other mounted
shares, allows you to browse network shares (smb, etc.), link to your
desktop, etc.  It would be great if the Gnome file selection dialog
box also used the same concept.  It's just so much faster and makes a
lot of sense.
