I think Gnome is quite determined regarding this, the old file dialog will be removed. It has some serious bugs w.r.t. international characters in file names, and nobody is working on that. Also, by default, Gnome applications use the new one, so I think the new one should be default as it is more familiar by now. Jan D.
