A temporary fix is to have a browse button that opens the dialog, and an add button that gives you a text input dialog. Currently, I don't have the time for doing a patch. And furthermore, I only have the QT3 development tools installed, and if I'm not mistaken, they cannot be used for changing the LyX dialog as they are not compatible with QT2.
