The fact that the "Look and Feel" of the filechooser agrees with that of  
Nautilus is a Feature, not a Bug. It is utterly nonsensical to even thing  
of changing it, and if Ubuntu and Suse are reversing the change on their  
platforms, then I applaud that.

It seems to me that those who are developing GTK are answerable to no-one,  
and it they continue to behave in this way, we shall simply all be forced  
to switch to QT. It is ridiculous that they are pressing ahead with GTK4  
at a time when several exceeding important applications had not even  
switched to GTK3 (and I am beginning to see why). The file changer in  
these applications will remain as it is, so that everyone will find  
different windows which look the same behaving entirely differently.
