I never really noticed it before, but now that you mention it and I'm 
aware of it... the inconsistency is annoying. 

Save As... with the browser expanded is basically the same interface 
as Open... with a few controls moved from bottom to top. I'd much 
rather have both dialogs use the same scheme, with an option in gconf 
to change it. Along the lines of "Use browser in file dialogs? (y/n)"
