        You're probably kidding, but it will likely be the current
        behavior the FNFC which uses FLTK's own built in file chooser
        under linux, since there really is no 'native' chooser on that
        platform. Maybe there's an Athena file chooser we can torture
        people with >:)

        I figure if folks really want access to other toolkit choosers,
        one 'easy' way would be to compile a standalone gtk/qt app
        that simply pops open their file chooser and exits. The mini-app
        would accept filename settings on the command line, and pass back
        results to stdout, so the FLTK app would invoke the app with
        something like popen().

        This would avoid having to link into gtk/qt, event synchronization
        between the two toolkits, etc.

        I know two commercial apps that went this route, until alternatives
        were found.
