I hate that file picker too, but not as much as I hate the Mozilla
one. ;)

I mainly use KDE, but I also have XFCE installed, which is how I got
Thunar.  (I do wish it didn't pull in that GNOME stuff, but I live with
it.)

I just uninstalled Thunar to see what would happen.  To my surprise,
when I tried "Open Directory" from about:support I was prompted to
select a file manager for XFCE.  I selected Dolphin.  Now all the
Mozilla apps use Dolphin, both from about:support and from the
downloads manager. That's what I wanted all along, so I'm happy.

But I don't understand why SeaMonkey would be using the XFCE setting
when I'm running a KDE session.  (And I confirmed, using
xfce4-settings-manager to change the file manager does result in
SeaMonkey using whatever I select.)
