gtk gui enhancements

[Brian J. Tarricone]

i'd have to look into it to be sure, but it sounds like the dropline 
folks patched gtk to do this.  the "default" gtk2 file selector is very 
sparse - it should only have two list boxes and an entry field, plus 
three optional iconless buttons at the top (create dir, rename, delete, 
or something like that).  gtk 2.4 has a brand-new file selector that has 
some more features, but the application itself has to explicitly use it 
(in 4.0.x, xfce does not use this, and in CVS, i believe only xfdesktop 
uses this).
