Cool! I think it would be a good idea to commit the patch for 3.2, it is a 
nice improvement for the file dialog.

I still have some other suggestions in order to reach a perfect URL bar :-) 
There are a few problems which occur without the patch, too (so they are no 
reason not apply it):
- The ends of the labels are hidden by the scrollbar (only a problem for those 
who like to have dozens of entries in the URL bar...)
- Switching from small icons to large icons makes the horizontal scrollbar 
appear.
- Perhaps 12 or 13 ems would be better because it would avoid squeezing the 
"Home directory" label. But for most languages, the label will be squeezed 
anyway, I don't know what are the exact translations, maybe "Personal 
Verzeichnis" in german and "Dossier personnel" in french...
