As Duncan explains, in the Mozilla apps have the ability to use the native 
dialog, however only the Gtk one was implemented by Mozilla.  The good news is 
that openSuse 11.2 has just been released with KDE file dialog support in 
Firefox as well as other integration like using the KDE application launcher, 
so it's only a matter of time before the other distos pick this up.  I'm not 
sure if this will also apply to Thunderbird.
