Cool.  Quartic (of GIMP/GNOME fame) mentioned a desire quite a 
while ago for GtkFileSel dialog to look something like that.  I have
been considering rewriting GtkFileSel but the file completion
code is prohibitively complex.  I was debating between a tree
implementation or a Win95/StarOffice-type dialog.  Haven't found
the time to do that yet though. ;-)
