Subject: Using file_chooser_dialog

The ui_manager is working out nicely for me - it reminds me very much 
of a similar system I built in the past to separate UI design and 
construction from the main body of app code. :)

Now I am using the file_chooser_dialog, and in general, it also works 
well... but I have a few issues with it (note that I am using it on 
Windows XP with the DLL pack linked from the LablGTK site):

1) is it possible to have the file_chooser widget NOT check the A: 
(floppy) drive every time I show the dialog using this widget?  It 
adds a noticeable and very annoying delay. :(

2) how can I connect the dialog's Cancel button to the Escape key on 
the keyboard?

3) can I make the dialog in `SAVE mode display initially with the 
"full" interface that I get if I clock the "Browse for other folders" 
button?  The GTK docs suggest that using set_current_folder will do 
this, but that is not what I see (even though it returns a true).
