Are they available with the Motif/Lesstif file selector?

Don't that require the ability to create widgets from inside lisp?
I guess one could write a special lisp <-> C bridge just for the
file dialog.
I plan to replace the file dialog anyway, because it does not handle
files and directorynames correctly that aren't UTF-8. In fact, if
you start Emacs in a directory that has some Latin-1 character in
it and bring up the file dialog, the file dialog will promptly exit
with a failed assertion. The GTK people does not think this is a bug,
"convert all your files, tools and directories to UTF-8" is their solution.
Being in Europe, using Latin-1 alot, I can't just switch to UTF-8, so
the file dialog must change. When I come around to it, I will consider
your strategy of doing a file dialog from lisp. Sounds like a good idea
anyway, regardles of EFS.

Good point to bring up,
