On Linux, the file-open dialog does not incorporate a file-filter. The filter
button however does what it's supposed to do: "Open up a dialog to
define/select a display-filter".

On Windows, the file-open dialog is capable of filtering files in the "File
name:" textbox. You can enter a file-filter there like a*.* and press enter.
That will then show you only the files that match your pattern. However, the
"filter" button does not open up the "display-filter-dialog" as it is supposed
to do.

In short, there are two things that need to be fixed IMHO:
1) The filter button on the "file-open-dialog" does not open up the
display-filter-dialog on a Windows-system (I tested with SVN-21278)
2) a*.* is seen as a valid display-filter. The display-filter parser needs be
fixed to not show this as a valid display-filter
