Amen. KDE users on Linux have been making fun of GTK's file selection
for a very long time - it's improving in the most recent versions but I
still find it a tad iffy at times.

This is my sense too - I know a few other GTK applications have been
ported but I do not have the sense it is a major movement. Hence my
excitement at GPL QT4, which up until version 4 was commercial ONLY on
Windows - indicating it must work reasonably well. With any luck an
McCLIM backend to that could be made to work well and reliably on both
platforms.
