As far as I know, the Gnome Usability Team thinks that
this is a poor idea. So much so that the next revision
of the file dialog probably won't have that feature.

We're just following everyone else's lead. It's nice
to have consistency with the other Gnome Applications.
If you want to delete a file, use a file manager like
Nautilus. The "Open/Save File" dialog is not a file
manager.
Please don't feel the need to respond to this. If the
stock GTK file chooser doesn't provide the
functionality you're looking for, we're not going to
add it. This is the wrong place for such a discussion.
Best regards,
Dom
