My mistake for calling it a "dialog" when in fact it is a "window".
File Browser is the same as the Object Inspector or Messages windows -
a window that is left open while working in your code.  Michael was
kind enough to add the above mentioned code (applying to dialogs), but
in fact it it should integrate with the IDE's Window Positions list,
saving/restoring size *and* position.  The XXXLayout() seems to only
store size.

Any hints on how I integrate it into the "window list"?  I know I did
this before, months ago, but that was for windows that are built into
the IDE (as standard). File Browser is an addon.
