GNOME file selector broken

On upgrading to GNOME 2.6 you may find you have a pretty new file selector dialog. Sadly, it is missing a text entry field! There is no way to quickly navigate using the keyboard, and it's lost the beautiful Tab-ding feature.

In fact, it is still there, but it's bizarrely hidden. Press Ctrl+L to bring up a text field.
