The best part is you can't just enter a command to execute having firefox look it up in the path.. So this bug of GTK fileselector only show up because a misfeature in Firefox.. ;-(

KDE (3.5.4) does. It pops up a 3-section window, textbox file chooser on
top (browse button to the right), a tree-view copy of the K-Menu in the
center, and two checkbox options on the bottom, run in terminal (with a
don't close after exit suboption that's dimmed out until run in terminal
is selected), and remember application association (similar to the
MSWormOS dialog option). Below that are the usual OK/Cancel buttons.
