show the import dialog after the file chooser

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The watch import dialog is created and immediately, a file chooser dialog
appears on top. I think it would be better if only the file chooser dialog
appeared, and then, when the user has chosen to open a watch list file to
import, create the import dialog.

For me it seems strange that a user first has to click a button to open the file
dialog, because he will have to do this every time he wans to import a watch 
(because
the only possible way to import watches is with a file and i can not think of 
other
ways to import a watch)

I am not suggesting that we add a button, just that we change the order of 
window
appeareances so that the process is less flashy/confusing.

The current behavior is:
- user clicks Import in the menu
- import window shows up
- ½ second later, the gtk file chooser also shows up
- user chooses a file, and its watches are shown in the import dialog
- user chooses watches to import and closes the import dialog

Proposed change:
- user clicks Import in the menu
- gtk file chooser shows up
- user chooses a file
- import window shows up, and watches are shown in it
- user chooses watches to import and closes the import dialog

Should work better in my branch, can somebody test it?

actually, hiding that dialog and then showind the filechooser is strange, 
because you
see a window "flash" by.

Also, I don't know why, the import dialog takes a *long* time to create itself 
(like,
1-2 seconds before it hides itself).

The correct workflow would be

filechooser shows up
If (file and file is valid):
    close the file chooser
    create the import dialog
    show the import dialog
elif (not file):
    pass
elif (file not valid):
    warn the user

I created 2 different files for this, one for the import and another one for the
export  to make it more clear.
