Well exactly, I'm not sure we want it in the open/save dialogs, otherwise
if / is mapped anywhere the user will try and pick items from it, and
loading will fail.

The right way to do this sort of stuff long term IMHO is to redesign the
open/save dialogs so they don't expose drive letters to the user at all,
and instead take the approach GTK+ has taken (home directory/device
oriented).

For now I'm not sure how to suppress it. Hmmm.
