Thankfully, I had gone to get supper so I had not yet sat down to write
the code to deal with that! I changed that and it works fine -- and it
looks to me like the OOo file dialogs are the same as what I was using,
so I don't see that there's much of a difference, but that could be the
Linux distro I'm using.
There is a catch, of course: I want to select a directory, not a file,
and it won't let me do that!
It's not the most important feature on this dialog, but it would be nice
to have all the stuff done now because when I'm using this, I'll be
more focused on writing and won't want to have to switch back to
programming mode to fix things like that.
