Gnome 2.6 Distro: Fedora 2

The select file dialog that you bring up when you do the following doesn't have
a text input box:

1) Open Preferences > Themes
2) Choose Install Theme
3) Choose Browse...

Notice the select file dialog doesn't have a textbox for typing in a directory
or file name. This is crazy. I don't know how this happens... If its something
the application chooses when opening the dialog, but please make it so that all
applications by default have a textbox.

Furthermore, if you pair this with the inability to see directories that start
with a period (like .themes) with this dialog, there are a lot of directories
that are inaccessible.

Its an inconvenience having to browse from Filesystem for a file instead of just
typing "/data/documents/media/themes" or whatever directory you want to go to.

So please make it so that all programs created by Gnome open this "Select File"
dialog with a text input box, and make that the default if it isn't.

Actually, an application should never disable this, so it should be in some
frame of the "Select File" box, and if an application disables it, it actually
just hides it, not makes it totally gone. You could then click on something to
make it reappear, or hide again. The same could be done for any other optional
part of the "Select File" dialog.
