- open a file that brings up the unknown content dialog
- click the radio button to open with an application
- click the 'choose' button

expected:
- can only pick applications

actual:
- can pick any file at all, regardless of type.
Depends on: 97321
How do we tell what's an application? I presume there's an API for this on
mac/windows?  On Unix, do we just test that 
(mode & (S_IXUSR | S_IXGRP | S_IXOTH)) is true?  Or do we test that the user
actually has the permissions needed to run the executable?

this works on linux at least...

I'm not sure what the status of bug 97321 is. Will bad things happen if I use
filterApps, or will mac just show all files?

how does this bug relate to bug 189037, isn't that a duplicate?

Not at all, except for the fact that there are two places where the filepicker
should be posed and both places need that change...
