As long as it's not the new toy GTK3 dialog made for exclusively for 
smart phones, it's really really terrible.

IMO, it should follow the "use_win32_native_dialogs" (or whatever) 
preference at least, like the other native win32 dialogs. But, I see no 
point in completely removing it while leaving all the other win32 native 
dialogs in there, it seems kind of an arbitrary change.

Also the colour chooser should be in a plugin too IMO, not mixed-in to 
core code, but I guess that's a different subject :)
