Your second screenshot file-open-dialog1.png shows the old dialog that we all prefer - you can type a path there, and this is the dialog box that we had in the past.
Your first screenshot file-open-dialog.png shows the dialog box that is being used by GTK based applications in Slackware 12.1. It is very different, lacks an input field by default (which you can enable by clicking on the notepad icon in the top-left) but this input field tries to do auto-completion of the text you type. This often results in a lot of backspaces to erase duplicate characters that you were typing when GTK was trying the autocomplete... very annoying.
