Description

     GtkFileSelection is used to retrieve files or directories requested
     by the end user. The widget contains a directory list and a file
     list which will correspond to the default directory, that is,
     either the current working directory or one determined using
     set_filename() .

     The filesystem can be navigated using either the directory tree or
     the dropdown history menu. Alternatively it is possible to type the
     directory or file path into the selection_entry field, and also to
     use the TAB key to autocomplete either the directory name or file
     name entered in this way.
