A question about GTK file selection dialog and `use-dialog-box' |

Hi all,
Using a GTK build of CVS Emacs, I see that `read-file-name' uses a GTK
file selector instead of the minbuffer. I had to disable it because
it's very awkward to use compared to the minibuffer (no history or
completion). The only advertised way to disable it is to unset
`use-dialog-box', which also disables the nice `y-or-n-p' and
`yes-or-no-p' pop-ups (I like thoese!).
It would be great if the GTK file selector's minibuffer area acted like
the minibuffer (history and completion). If not, then consider
providing a way to disable the file selector without disabling
`y-or-n-p' and `yes-or-no-p' pop-ups.
Thanks,
Peter
