The dialog box has several options that can be checked, show hidden
files, sort folders before files, etc. When I check these, the selection
is not retained and I have to reselect these every time.
By writing in the files, I mean that it doesn't have the field to
manually write in files/folders. I don't see any option to turn that on.

I also find the dialog box full of stuff on the left side that I don't
like at the top. Similar to what KDE3 put into dialog boxes for some
apps.

None of these problems are killer flaws. I just wanted to mention that I
see a problem that might be easy to fix (or not). I'm not complaining, I
just thought it was worth pointing out.

I only have 4GB of memory, if I have a lot of memory usage, like
firefox, text scrolling is extremely slow and choppy.
Yes, 4GB is pretty much nothing, but the laptop was really cheap.
