[XFCE 0000090]: 'Go to' tool bar not reflective of current directory

[Jesse Wagner]

But if you just plain got rid of it, the people who want to type a full
path (who I believe to be in the minority) would just have to type a /,
like I'm sure they are used to from the command line. Also, it's more
consistent w/ cd.
