For the values of nicer that match "much slower", "worse autocomplete
behaviour than the native dialog", "less useful Places list" and "confusing
gradual display of network locations" (the first time I tried opening
something from my fileserver I thought some of my directories went missing
because the GTK+ dialog displayed about a tenth of all folders at first,
and then very slowly added the rest in about 15-second intervals; there's
also the weird behaviour when you type a directory name, press Enter, see
the Open button depress and jump out again - and then nothing happens,
because the dialog expects a \ at the end to actually change to that
directory).
