I'm currently working on a patch to add support for native file dialogs for windows users. It's worked out pretty well, and I'm almost finished.

Hmm, does it mean there will be no filesystem bookmarks in Windows? What about the preview?

In the GTK version, sp_file_open_dialog (in file.cpp) is called from inside FileVerb::Perform in verbs.cpp. But how is it possible to get the GdkWindow object of the windows in which the verb was invoked?

You can do SP_ACTIVE_DESKTOP, then use getToplevel to get GTK window, and then use ->window to get from GTK to GDK (untested!)
