<AWT Dev> A patch so multiple selected files can have different directories.

[Anthony Petrov]

Hi Matthew,

The updated webrev is available at:

http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~anthony/8-10-GTKFileDialogMultiSelRecentFiles-7132194.1/

Please note that there's still problems with formatting at lines 210-211 
(TABs instead of spaces), 239 (missing spaces), and also an extra empty 
line at 248. No need to resend a new patch, I'll fix these myself before 
pushing the fix.

In the future, please pay attention to formatting your code. At first 
this issue may seem unimportant, however, it greatly simplifies 
maintaining the code, especially as large as OpenJDK. That's why we 
require all fixes to follow the common Java Code Conventions and be 
properly formatted. You could use the webrev utility [1] to generate 
webreves for your code changes. It is easier to spot mis-formatted code 
using a HTML view of your changes.

Having said that, I'm approving the fix. Thank you for the contribution! 
If anyone on the mailing list has additional comments, they are welcome.
