Typing a path in "Browse icons" closes dialog

Bug Description

Attempting to type a path name into the "Browse icons" dialog causes the dialog to close. I see this behavior in 6.06 (Dapper).

After playing with this for a bit, I believe I see what is happening: As I type, the current path is being interpreted so that icons in that path will be displayed. A bad path causes something to blow up. For example, if I begin to type "/usr/share/icons/Human", the dialog closes once I type "/u". The "/" works since that is a directory, but "/u" is not and the dialog closes.

Bringing the dialog up again, I see "/u" in the edit field and I can continue to type the path (with the dialog closing as I type each character) until I get to a valid path. The dialog will now stay up (and display icons in that directory if they are present), but will close as soon as I add a character that makes an invalid path.
