By this I mean that pressing:
<Ctrl-L> "/usr/bin/emacs" <Enter>
should open the "Open Location" dialog, locate the file
'/usr/bin/emacs'
and then close the dialog.
This isn't "correct" in any sane sense of the word. Having to hit a secret
key combo to enter a path name is ridiculous, and having that be a second
dialog is a serious regression.

I'm assuming that the problem is that pressing
<Ctrl-L> "/usr/bin/emacs" <Enter> <Enter>
isn't as responsive as it might be.
The problem is that one reason one might want to type rather than browse is
that it's actually much, much faster -- but now, there's extraneous
keystrokes required for no good reason.
