This will not make it upstream because the GIMP people target GTK+ 2.0
features. The new file selector would impose GTK2.4 on them, which they
are unwilling to do. Its not like other apps are not hacked. Fedora Core
2 will ship with GTK+ 2.4 so that will not be a problem for Fedora users
at all. The reason to target GTK+ 2.4 for the gimp guys is because there
are people still using Redhat 8 for example, so it would not be fair or
good to use features in the latest and greatest GTK. Its a matter of
using a patch that is applied when you make the rpm packages only.
