Icon browser (launcher properties) weirdness

[Joao Inacio]

Hi,

It's not the first time this issue is bugging me, but i finally
decided to ask about it.

The issue is the icon browser/chooser (the one you get on launcher properties):

IMHO it's extremely weird to use, to say the least. i believe many
users don't know they can use icons on other directories other than
"/usr/share/pixmaps" because of the way it currently works.

So, are there any plans to change this dialog? AFAIK GTK already
provides an image select dialog with preview (don't know if you can
restrict it to use only certain formats, though).

I'll gladly help out w/ anything that doesn't involve writing/coding ;)
