[xdot] File navigation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

No problems as such, but I have added three buttons that are essential to me. 
"Next" and "Previous" because I have to browse through thousands of files: I 
open two xdot windows on separate folders and keep pressing "Next" on each 
window.
"Quit" because I work without titlebars: I use a small-screen monitor for 
portability.

I hope you find it useful too, and accept the patch.
Thanks!

That's what I get for not proofreading -- sorry. I have to compare some 
"original" dot files and some "transformed" dot files which are in two 
different directories. The "next" and "previous" buttons help with that. And by 
"small-screen monitor", I meant "small-screen laptop", of course ;-).

Another small change to support the buttons: Natural sorting of filenames: 
abc45.dot now comes before abc123.dot in ordering for "next" and "previous". 
And fixed a mistake I made previously.

Added hotkeys for the newly introduced functionality.

Please note: I am still very new to GTK and PyGTK. When I needed to call event 
handler functions explicitly, I did so with "self.on_open(None)". I don't know 
if this is the recommended way.

Thanks for you contribution. I'm quite busy, so it will take some time to go 
through your patches, but I'll eventually get around to do it. Please bear with 
me.

Not a problem. Thank you!

Another small change: every time we use the Open dialog, it defaults to the 
"Recently Used" list. I have made modifications to default to whatever folder 
was used in a previous call to the Open dialog. This makes my life a bit 
easier: it was taking too many clicks to get to the same folder every time. 

Please review them whenever it is convenient for you.

(I have included all the previous patch-sets too in the zip file, to ease 
reviews and merges.)

Yet another small change: now has a text-entry, like a browser.
