no its still possible but basically what happens is when I select other 
from the drop down box it immediately pops up the file browser, which I 
have to cancel out of and then I can manually enter the icon name. I 
just didn't like that it automatically popped up the file browser, as 
opposed to 4.2 it just enabled the text box when other was selected.
