I think you better use GtkFileChooser dialog,
from gtkfilechooser.h & gtkfilechooserdialog.h.

File selection is restricted to locating existing 
files along paths.

FileChooser has some options you could set I guess
for the user to do like:

GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN,
          ''           _SAVE,
          ''           _SELECT_FOLDER,
          ''           _CREATE_FOLDER.

This is a cleaner interface.


So you could add some little widget/option button 
that changes the mode of the dialog box using
gtk_file_chooser_{set|get}_action.

Cheers
Muthu.
