It depends on which toolkit Emacs was compiled with. File selection
dialogs are available with the Motif/LessTif (and GTK for Emacs 22)
toolkits. Also, a dialog is only used if you invoke the command
through the file menu, not when you use the keyboard. (And
use-dialog-box must be non-nil, but it should be by default.)
