This will actually be exposed in GTK+ 2.10 - earlier, it was up for debate as to whether or not it should be there at all. So I guess you could call this a GTK+ "trick", but it's really a matter of software in flux. (The new GTK+ file chooser should never have gone in so early - it basically went in unfinished because we listened too much to the wailing and gnashing of teeth from the noisy, vocal minority who felt the GNOME file chooser was the only thing stopping Linux from succeeding on the desktop!) > An eg of patchy.
