Very nice that this is already addressed. I hope the gnome versions in 
the next linux distros will have type ahead find already included.

One other thing would be nice. Being able to browse files in the 
filechooser with all possibilities of nautilus like thumbnails.

I also like being able to do some file management in the chooser like 
creating folders. As the filechooser so more and more develops into 
nautilus it could be implemented as a special nautilus view internally.
