wxGUI: files without extensions are not visible in file dialogs

[msieczka]

Files which do not have an extension are not visible in file dialogs.

1. touch test

2. try to locate file 'test' using a GRASS wxGUI dialog

I can confirm this. In the wx GUI, file dialogs are configured to look
for *.*, so any files which do not have an extension are not taken into
account. To test, just 'touch test' and then try to find the file test.

I don't know where this is defined in the code source, but in my eyes
there should be the possibility to "show all files", so looking for *
and not *.*, maybe even replacing *.* by *

The code uses wx.lib.filebrowsebutton, which uses *.* as the default value for its fileMask parameter.

Try filebrowse.FileBrowseButton(..., fileMask = '*')

Fixed in #41284. Can this be backported to deb6 and rel6 ?
