you didn't do us (the GIMP developers) a favor by doing so. We did 
expect breakage anyway and we'd have been happy about any modifications 
that make the file-selector any better. Looks like we'll write our own 
for Gimp-1.4 or continue to heavily hack around in the widget's internals 
to make it suit our needs.


Salut, Sven
