fs->rvojta: I'm in charge of the file picker, so lemme add my comments to this

a) does sound bad. Though there never has been a full specification for the file
dialog, I remember that on various occasions, the User Experience (UE) Team
wanted wanted the extension not to be shown by default. I know that this is a
rather fuzzy argument :), but I suppose showing the extension always is not what
UE would support.
Furthermore, it would only move (though relax) the problem, since the user might
remove the extension explicitly, and then switch the filter -> same problem 
again.

I'm not sure if I like b) (even if a certain competitor does it this way :).
Finally, it means that the user only knows what's going on after it's too late.
Given that extensions have a rather high importance (we may like or dislike this
fact), I would not be happy with not telling the use which extension her file is
going to have.

c) sounds like the best solution - it's a comprehensive fix, and still leaves
the user with a glue what's going on.
