For those of you that remember my post regarding the default behaviour
of the GTK2 FileChooser or `File Save As' dialog. This is the response
from Firefox

We can't do this for a couple of reasons:
- We try to fit in with GTK, and so what GTK does (especially for standard
things such as file dialogs) we should do
- As far as I know, we can't do much to manipulate the file dialog from
Firefox: it's all done in libgtk code
------
The above being the case. I have gone with the fix I saw on the Gentoo
forums http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-362497-highlight-.html and
recompiled my own copy of GTK2 to include an expanded by default file
save as dialog
Seeing as I'm feeling philanthropic tonight... If anyone else wants to
use the Patch, SPEC, SRPM, RPM I have posted them here ==>

If it doesn't work then it's probably because it was compiled in
Australia :)
