### bonobo_file_selector_open ()

    char*       bonobo_file_selector_open       (GtkWindow *parent,
                                                 gboolean enable_vfs,

Creates and shows a modal open file dialog, waiting for the user to select a file or cancel before returning.

`parent` : | optional window the dialog should be a transient for.
`enable_vfs` : | if FALSE, restrict files to local paths.
`title` : | optional window title to use
`mime_types` : | optional list of mime types to provide filters for. These are of the form: "HTML Files:text/html|Text Files:text/html,text/plain"
`default_path` : | optional directory to start in
Returns : | the URI (or plain file path if `enable_vfs` is FALSE) of the file selected, or NULL if cancel was pressed.
