[cough] Danimo?

We started talking about this at N7y and I came up with a simple-ish C API for 
file dialogs after looking at what was offered in wxWindows and GTK (as well 
as Qt and KDE obviously) -- Daniel was going to come up with something I 
think as a kded service that I could hook into, but I haven't heard anything 
since then -- any news?  (Or anyone else that wants to take up the call?  
Presumably post-3.2 at this point.)
