Stuart, Thats kind of what I thought. I don't have anything good enough to share yet but I'm working on it. One biggest issues to deal with is that the file select and the component select dialog both use the same code. To use the GTK+ file chooser I'll probably need to split them because I'm not sure I want the new file chooser interface when choosing components. Ideas/opinions on this are welcome of course.
