[Usability] suggestion for icon customize dialog

[piotr smyrak heron pl]

Hi,

This idea happened to me when using a fresh install of Gnome 2.8. 
Please have a look at this screenshot: 
http://eko.org.pl/~smyru/shots/icon-dialog-idea.png 

When one wants to change an icon, one usually would like to assign 
his favorite, out-of-stock icon, that one most probably stores in 
his private dir like ~/.icons or any other subfolder in the $HOME. 
But one wants to change the default icon, has to browse through the 
filesystem to one's $HOME. 

So my proposition is that the dialog presents instead/below the 
system pixmap dir in the drop down list the user's home dir or/and 
~/.icons 

I am looking forward to hear your opinions.
