I eventually had a look into the GUI plug-in stuff and came up
with this.
It uses a zenity-inspired gtk binary to make the dialogue (not
particularly finesse, but easier thank tcl/gtk). Source and binary
as
well as the tcl plugin here:

That's great! So much better than the crappy Tcl/Tk open panel. It
would be great to have the save panel too. I added code so that the
plugin finds pd_gtk_open in the searchpath, that's attached. I also
think an install target for the Makefile would make it really easy to
install:
Hey thanks for that. I already have the binary for the save dialog,
I just have to figure out how to make the plug-in.
Now that I spend a couple hours with the GTK open panel, it felt so
natural I was shocked when I removed the plugin. Looking forward to
the save panel!
install:
install -d ~/pd-externals/
install -p -m644 gtkopen-plugin.tcl ~/pd-externals/
install -p -m755 $(PROGRAM) ~/pd-externals/
Ok.. but I think someone was raising the issue of a ~/pd-externals
dir being created. Anyway it does make sense to distribute the plug-in
I believe the objection you mention is that Pd-extended automatically
creates ~/pd-externals. ~/pd-externals is the standard user-install
path for Pd-vanilla and Pd-extended. No sudo or root access needed.

If you want to publicize this, you could add it to the GUI Plugins
section of the new download page:
http://puredata.info/community/projects/software/
http://puredata.info/docs/sitedocs/AddingYourProjectToDownloads
I'll do that as soon as I have time, maybe once the save is done...
An open without a matching save seems a bit strange atm :)
