I don't speak gnome, but I have coded several other toolkits. Normally
I'd assume when you detect the "OK" button and close the dir dialog
window, you need to explicitly focus on the window you were on before,
for example in pseudo code:
// user wants to select a dir
window_result=Widget_to_build_dir_dialog();
// now we have no idea which window is focused, but
// the dir widget just closed, so lets force window focus
// so the window comes to the top
focus_this_window();
// continue...

Expunge also only acts on the current dir. Any way to make a "Clean my
entire tree"?

Interesting. I'd have coded it to stop after matching and acting on one
rule. But thats only because I'd have thought that the order dialog box
was implying that.

No. No cpu used either.
