The little sub-dialog you get from typing `/' seems to work for me -- If
I enter a filename in there, and hit RET, the "main" file dialog jumps
directly to that file, and I can then just hit OK to give it to Emacs.

BTW, on a slightly tangential point, I notice that the GTK file dialog
in Emacs has a huge honkin' message that says "if you don't like this
file dialog you can do ... to turn it off".

While this is indeed useful information for a surprised user in some
circumstance, it negatively affects the layout of the file dialog, and I
imagine could annoy somebody that uses the dialog regularly.  Is there a
way to disable that "warning" text?

Also, it occurs to me that some users might like it if Emacs would
simply use the little "sub-file-dialog" (which you get by hitting C-l in
the main GTK file dialog) directly, without going through the
complicated main file dialog box; is there anyway of doing that?

Thanks,
