If you want to do it yourself, I've found that calling GetOpenFileName 
or GetSaveFileName in a different thread works fine.  Just call 
g_idle_add to send the result back to the main thread when the win32 
function finishes.  This allows the win32 dialog to run without blocking 
expose events on your GTK+ windows.
