Review Request: Addition to UI for Config page "Filter" in FolderView applet to make behavior clear.

[Shantanu Tushar Jha]

If we have every file-type selected on default for "Show files matching",
that will be fine, but I'm not sure if deselecting all file types for "Hide
files matching" would work, because if the user enters some filter, say
"foo*" even then foo will be displayed, because its not selected in the MIME
types (the file will if hidden if it satisfies both the conditions). So,
should I make the MIME types enabled by default in both cases, or any better
idea?

P.S. I could not leave a comment at reviewboard, because due to some reason,
its not showing be logged in on this particular page.
