I'm using a JFileChooser (1.3.0).  I want my users to be able to choose
a directory only, so I've done:
setFileSelectionMode(JFileChooser.DIRECTORIES_ONLY).

I'll setControlButtonsAreShown(false) and roll my own Approve/Cancel
buttons.

This is my question: is there a way to make the "File name: /_____/
/_OPEN_/" dialog not appear, since it's not only inappropriate in the
DIRECTORIES_ONLY context, but will puzzle my users.
