When I run the code snippet Martin provided under Linux, the file 
selection box shows files in columns. That's part of the reason why I 
consider it ugly -- I'm an old Mac guy, and I still dislike file 
selection tools that use the Windows 95 style 2-D layout:


a-file      e-file      ...
b-file      f-file      y-file
c-file      g-file      z-file
d-file      h-file


instead of a simple vertical list:

a-file
b-file
c-file
...
z-file


Call me a dinosaur if you will, but I hate horizontal scrolling.
