I'd suggest to use "file dialog" in both variables, i.e. rename `x-gtk-show-chooser-help-text' to `x-gtk-file-dialog-help-text'.
Just because the old file dialog does not have the additional text. The name of the new dialog is file-chooser. But I can change.
I'd also suggest to rename `x-use-old-gtk-file-dialog' to `x-gtk-use-old-file-dialog'. Maybe it's doc string should say what is "old" and "new" in GTK version numbers?
That is currently not possible. Both file dialogs exists side by side in at least Gtk+ version 2.4 to 2.10. I can rename the variable though.
Maybe it would make sense to allow `x-gtk-show-chooser-help-text' to be nil, t or a (customizable) string instead of the hard coded text:
Wouldn't that be overkill? The purpose of the text is just to help those that dislike the new dialog, which seems to be quite a few.
