Hey, what the heck is this about? I accept the fact that a lot of people want the text entry back but I am not the maintainer of the GtkFileChooser dialog so why do you care about my opinion? I will continue to tell people that I don't think the text entry should be added back but of course I don't care if it is being added back as long as I can switch it off. If you want the text entry back, go add it back. I even expect the GTK+ developers to accept a patch if it works well and uses XSettings to make it optional. > The only GTK2 app that I use on any kind of routine basis that uses > this dialog is the GIMP.
