I was just adding a new mimetype for .xcf files and was puzzled why it
didn't work.  It turns out I had added ".xcf" as the extension.  That
made sense to me since the dialog asked for the extension... and that
was it.  As we all know, what it *expected* to see was "*.xcf" -- a
pattern for the entire file, not the extension.

So changing the string is out of the question now since that would
require translation.  The next best thing is to provide an example..
so that's what I did.

Basically, this patch will put "*." as the default text in the edit
box.  This should give the user some hint that that is expected.

Comments?
