I've been a big fan of the new GTK file chooser so I modified the geda project manager (the thing that runs when you type $ geda) to use GtkFileChooserDialog instead of GtkFileSelectorWhatever
I made a patch file for that change. It's made against a clean cvs checkout as described form the geda help page. Before applying the patch you'll need to move devel/geda/src/filesel.[ch] to devel/geda/src/filechoose.[ch] (I renamed things to comply with the GTK naming). After that all you should need to do is run '$ patch -p1 < patchfile.patch' from the top level cvs directory (the one that contains only CVS and devel). I wasn't sure where to put the patch file so I put it up on a webserver at http://spenceal-3.student.rose-hulman.edu/files/gtk_file_choose.patch Have fun, If there's a better way to submit a patch file/there's anything worng with this one/or you have any questions, let me know.
