Thanks, that works. I can't believe GTK didn't provide that option in the
dialog... its standard in Windows and makes GTK look bad.

I would like to suggest that the open dialog have a place to enter the

Try typing control-L - this is the first I'd head about ^L, which I found
by Googling for
gtkfilechooser "full path"
which found
http://www.murrayc.com/blog/tech/2005-01-08-10-57.html
which seemed to imply that something was changed in the GtkFileChooser in
GTK+ 2.6 for "the type-the-full-path crowd", so I Googled for
gtkfilechooser "gtk 2.6"
and found
http://www.gtk.org/gtk-2.6.0-notes.html
which said
The new GtkFileChooser widget emphasizes simplicity and thus does
not provide a navigation entry by default when opening files.
Experienced command line users will likely want to make heavy use of
the location dialog brought up by the Control-L key shortcut.
so I was curious whether the ^L shortcut was available in the GTK+ 2.4
version that I'm using - it is.
(If this is a confusing response with all its references and with the
link's references to "GtkFileChooser" and" "GTK+ 2.4" and "GTK+ 2.6" and
so on, bear in mind that we, the Ethereal developers, did *NOT* write the
code that implements the open dialog, we just wrote the code that *calls*
that code; much of Ethereal's UI, including the file open dialog, is
provided by the GTK+ toolkit, which we didn't write.)
