But that's not what Gnome is about ;) (Yes, I bloody hate the Gnome file
dialog, it annoys me rather a lot, but then as I really don't use that
many Gnome apps, it doesn't make too much of a lasting impression - I
also hate the OpenOffice.org file dialogs... and the KDE ones... you
know, the last time I was reasonably happy with a file dialog was the
GTK 1 file dialog, still in use by xmms... it doesn't annoy me half as
much as the others :)
