IIRC there's a property that can be set per GnomeFileEntry to get it to
use the GtkFileChooser; the patch I've been using in Fedora Rawhide
fixes some of these; I'll send these upstream to evolution-patches after
Carlos' patch goes in.

module-level function to make it always use GtkFileChooser for the
