The approaches that you're trying are correct, but there is a problem 
with the return values for FXWindow#children. The first child widget for 
the FXFileSelector is supposed to be an FXHorizontalFrame but it's being 
returned to you as an FXWindow instance instead. I know what's wrong, 
but I don't think there's a workaround for FXRuby-1.0.27. I have added 
this to the bug list and it should be fixed in the next release.
