What Location text entry?  The only text box I have is the "(Read) Filter" box;
I'm using GTK 2.4 but that doesn't appear to matter.

Another thing to note is that the callback will only be called if Wireshark
recognizes the file.  If you try to select, say, an executable or library, it
will not allow you to "Open" it.
