I don't think it would be impossible to add a text entry field to the dialog, though, if it were required.
I hope so. It's clearly required.
We'll have to somehow. The old file dialog API will eventually go away and (from an API perspective) it's not as clean anyway.
Yes.
I hadn't noticed it before because I use Debian, and debian replaced the file dialog with something more sensible in their version of Gtk (same API, but different behavior/appearance).
The new file dialog is identical to upstream. Only the old file dialog is different.
I knew the "official" version was a bit different, but I'd never used it before.
AFAIK, the only difference is the left sidebar with the three shortcuts that they added (from a patch from ximian desktop).
