This my impression as well, the idioticy of the current file-open dialog
behaviour perfectly matches the GNOME "development". And the performance
is still flawed, the dialog (here: Iceweasel) keeps reading data of each
and every file when doing completion. For what? It has never to display
the type and icon, I wanna enter this filename manually.
I wonder what the people are smoking anyway. Few years ago, performance
of kfm in KDE 1.x sucked because it tried to read every file. Looks like
GNOME people urge to repeat their mistakes.
