Bug#448674: GtkFileChooser: "Places" should require "space" or "enter" to activate.

Package: libgtk2.0-0
Version: 2.12.1-1
Severity: normal
Justification: Annoying. Makes keyboard navigation difficult.

To reproduce (using either iceweasel or leafpad or most gtk apps with
file opening capabilities):

1) cd ~ && mkdir tmp && cd tmp
2) cat "Boring file" >tmp.txt
# Or you can use another gtk program
3) iceweasel tmp.txt
4) Press Ctrl-O
5) Shift-Tab 3 times
6) In Iceweasel, "Search" is automatically selected, or in leafpad, your
directory view has now jumped to home directory without warning.

This is not acceptable behavior. Items should not be activated without
pressing an activation button, such as space or enter.
