Quoting from the article I linked to in comment #4:
"So to recap: If you want Vista style dialogs with the mandatory preview
pane, we either have to modularise inkscape (which sounds very hard), or
add RSVG and a *second* version Croco-unmodified, which would bloat the
whole package by about 750kb."
doesn't sound like it's done with a flag change to me…

Sorry, I don't know - I'm not a developer and my own windows experience is dated (NT 4.0 ;-)

You could ping theAdib who fixed the 'Export Bitmap…' dialog (bug #292232) or the author of the win32 open/save dialogs on the inkscape-devel mailing list. OTOH - isn't Windows 7 just around the corner - with maybe yet another enhanced native dialog or API? Why adapting to Vista technology which - from what I have heard - isn't considered one of MS's masterpieces?
