The situation with file browsing is just as confusing if running as nonroot at the moment, and the storage dialog will enable better functionality. The big issue is that this is new UI and there are no docs to point at when users have questions. More work for me I suppose :) I'll enable this for storage provisioning with the new release, not local install media though (since we really don't have anything storage pool related hooked up cleanly for this case).
