Current File-Open makes sense as it is, at least to me.  After a
CTRL-O I don't want to have to reset the filter every time, or see a
dialog every time. Just treat it like an import - no need to add a
dialog (this covers right-click 'Edit with GIMP' also - would we have
to add another action: 'Import into GIMP' to skip the dialog?  yuck.).

As for File->Import, I don't understand why it would ever replace
anything - much less why the clean/dirty flag would be the toggle.
Maybe I'm missing something.
