I use Gnome and don't like the new dialogues. Having found relief for OO, I was disapppointed when GIMP went the same way. One of the problems with Ctrl-L (apart from its lack of intuitiveness) is that it doesn't remember the context for the next time round. If you want to open a set of files in a (non-home) directory, you do Ctrl-L and put in the full pathname of the first file, then have to duplicate the whole process for the second filename and so on. It might remember the path and select the remote directory as its CWD. > I am certain there is no way to use the KDE save dialogs, nor the old > GNOME ones. I am suprised that such a significant degregation of the user interface made it through testing. Most of us cannot be in too many places at the same time, so simply get dumped with whatever each community's "in thing" is, usually without being asked, but this is such a large change for the worse that I'm staggered that it can't be simply turned on or off by an option on each program (like OO) or an environment variable.
