A shameless plug: I've attempted to do this in Conglomerate, see here:

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=conglomerate%2Fsrc/cong-error-file-save.c&rev=&root=/cvs/gnome
(used when File->Save fails)

http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsblame.cgi?file=conglomerate%2Fsrc/cong-error-file-open.c&rev=&root=/cvs/gnome
(used when File->Open fails)

If I tidy this up into a resuable API, is there somewhere it can have a
home?  gnome-vfs?  libgnomeui?
