Note that this is in fact, not Ethereal's "Create Folder" button, it's
GTK+'s "Create Folder" button; we don't have our own code to implement
file creation dialog boxes, we use GTK+'s file selection dialog (with
pre-2.4 GTK+) or file chooser dialog (with 2.4 and later).

At some point there might be a version of Ethereal with a native Windows
interface; if so, those who want Ethereal on Windows to behave more like
other Windows application should use that version.
