   I've found that to be generally true too.

   Myself, I loved reading Linus' rant 
<http://mail.gnome.org/archives/usability/2005-December/msg00022.html> about 
GNOME's file-open dialog.  That single "feature" is what caused me to move to 
KDE years ago.

   When I use the GIMP today it's a royal PITA just because of that issue.  
I've developed the habit of opening a shell, cd'ing to the directory I want 
to be in, and then running "gimp &".  Oh the simple pleasure of being able to 
type a path and/or filename into a dialog box... :-)

 Regards,
