No, because I'm really not clear if I'm doing something wrong here, and 
surely having a file dialog that has the functionality of the dialogs 
used by another applications is  a long standing existing issue.

The other thing Im confused about (in a good way)  is that both 
FileDialog and JFileCHooser do seem to correct icons, i,e the 
applications folder contains a little blue A on the folder, whereas this 
post 
http://nadeausoftware.com/node/89#UsingtheJFileChoosertogetMacfileandfoldericons 
indicated JFileChooser does not.
