If I'm not mistaken, the file chooser that was in the previous GTK2+ release was indeed a Debian-specific patch that was put there so that Debian users would have a usable chooser until Gnome 2.2 would be released. That Ximian-like chooser which lasted until GTK+2.2 was in fact quite good and it was entirely Debian's own doing. Kudos to whoever had done it! So yes, Debian can influence things positively where there's a will. -- Martin-�ric Racine, ICT Consultant http://www.iki.fi/q-funk/
