The screenshot pretty much indicates that the default Gnome spacing wastes too much of space and looks ugly on these small screens. In fact I would make this window fullscreen on such a small screen. This dialog style does not make much of sense and only reduces usability. Just keep in mind that a file selector is usually a window that displays a lot of information at one time and needs all the space it can get.
