One thing that does work very well with a places sidebar is the new 
hierarchical list view (which absolutely rocks - we need this in 
GTKFileChooser too!). I find tree folder navigation much more usable in 
that view as it is no longer space constrained.

I dont mind experimenting if you feel its worth it but it would almost 
certainly pale in comparison to the above in terms of usability. Any 
chance of accepting the places sidebar without experimenting?

jamie.
