Which support are you expecting from GNOME ? Could you point the bug
number in the BTS for this wishlist please (not easy to keep in mind the
bug open for all these packages) ?

Which problem ? You don't share upstream point of view apparently (sorry
the email I use for the mailing list was down for 2 days, just catching
up with the thread), but it's not possible to have everybody agreeing on
a point, some people always look on things in a different way.

BTW have an url field in the gtk+ fileselector seems to be a reasonnable
option. The discussion seems to be open upstream (pointed previously in
the thread):
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=136541

Thanks again for the quick judgement. 

BTW, if you have some time one day, please have a look in the BTS for
GNOME packages. Just to see the number of bug reported upstream. And
while you are here please have a look on GNOME lists and bugzilla too to
see the changes which have been made/discussed with upstream (ie: the
gconf changes recently made).


Cheers,
