Amazingly enough, I like the gtk file selector better than _every_ other file
selector I've ever used, including Windows/BeOs/kde. Granted, it's a little
ugly, but the chances are that if there isn't tab completion (a'la bash), I
probably won't use the desktop system. I just hope that this tab completion
stays. I am not, however, a good indication of the type of person you want to
write a desktop system for.
