I know... therefore I start this project to emulate the native GTK in Swing:
http://code.google.com/p/gtkjfilechooser/

Maybe the Awt and the Swing team may reconsider to adopt this solution
in the next Java releases.
As I already stated, I can fully donate the code to the OpenJDK
project: consider it yours! ;-)

Chreers,
Costantino
