I am serious about this: I _lost_ almost 20 minutes in a 3 hour workshop trying to get people to open files in ~/.gimp-2.x - and after that I still had to try to explain why ctrl+l + ".gimp-2.2" + <enter> would work, and ".gimp-2.2" + <enter>, although displaying something would do nothing. Most people windows users for the first time using a GNU/Linux desktop. I guess they won't come be coming back any soon now. I think it is quite clear by now that this lack of a visible place to type a filename is damaging to both all of gnome, the Gimp, and in situations like the above, to the whole Free Software movement. The current "transparent type" hack simply does not work as it should - if it should at all.
