I don't want it (using GNU/Linux with `use-file-dialog' set to nil),
but such an option has also been requested in the German newsgroup[1]
by several people.  IIRC, a similar workaround as your "cheat" was
suggested there.  Maybe an additional value `always' could be
introduced for `use-file-dialog'.  (After the release.)

Bye, Reiner.
