Then the file dialogs must use the platform specific file managers. On 
Windows, the dialogs expose functionality of file explorer, on Linux 
that of the installed or preferred Nautilus, Konqueror or whatsoever. 
Please note that the dialogs shall *use* the managers, *not emulate* 
them. I'm not sure how this is feasable. It also would mean that 
eventual dialog customization differs for every platform.
