    Actually, I'm adding this type of feature to the BWidget Dialogs (and
the new ChooseDirectory widget).  I just added a -name option to the
dialogs that would provide a name for the dialog, and they remember
state from the last instance.  Example:

ChooseDirectory .d -name OpenImage

    That way, even though choosing a directory can be done in many
different places throughout an application, each one remembers its
state.  I like this better than a global state because I like to
remember where the user was last when the clicked this particular
dialog.
