Nothing's wrong with this.

I was under the impression that it would wait to run main_loop until 
the file chooser was dismissed, either by canceling or choosing a file. 
 So I didn't think the file chooser would communicate with the main 
program if a file was chosen.  But I was wrong.  I just tried what you 
said, and it works fine.

Thanks for he help.
