If it's just a file selection dialog box, then it's not working on gnome. There are existing ways of listing installed applications that don't require the use to go hunting in the obscure file system.
Unless I misunderstood how you've implemented this.
Inkscape already uses two kinds of file dialogs: a GTK one, for Gnu/Linux and OSX, and a native one for Windows. I've just modified the "open file" version of both dialogs in order to use a different file type filter and remove the preview when called from the preferences, modified the context menu to support URI, filenames and command line options, and created a new preference widget that provides an entry field and a browse button linked to the file dialog. Nothing revolutionary ;) Thus there's no reason why (bug excepted) why it shouldn't work on gnome.
