It looks to me like (interactive "G...") can not be used to choose a 
file name when run from the menus (ie when a dialog box is displayed).

Maybe this could be cured on w32 by asking first if the user wants to 
pick a directory or a file? Maybe there is some better cure? Maybe the 
dialog box should be avoided in this case?
