Pressing enter no longer does anything in save as/open dialogs

I have found it to no longer work on 2 different laptops, but on one 
Fedora desktop it is still working. All using the same Fedora and XFCE 
version.

So I must have broken something, even if I put the cursor in the `Name` 
field when saving a file pressing enter does not do a thing.

I think you may have seen more of Amsterdam than me, as I prefer other 
cities here in The Netherlands. But hope you can make it back here some 
day.

I moved to XFCE in 2006, I think :-p
