How many places would this actually have to be changed to make the GUI
consistent? Just changing the standard gnome file dialogs would fix most
applications. Only the few applications which either do not use the
standard dialogs or deal directly with the file system layout in their
user interface (e.g. file manager, GNOME search tool, cd burning
programs) would need to be changed directly.
