Irix customized Motif toolkit used to have a "path" widget...

The widget looked almost like a regular lineedit, but it had clickable bars 
over the parts of the path. You can still edit the path manually, and also 
go back in the directory hyerarchy with a click. Maybe something like that 
could work. It did not get in my way at the time, anyway.

If it is needed, the clickable bars could be used to browse directories at 
upper level, at least for local filesystems.
