Hello,
The problem is that wxPython is _extremely_ slow.
Are you using a Gnome/GTK theme, not the default one? Some themes
bring wxGTK to its knees. This looks like a redraw problem.

YES! That was the problem. I was using the BrushedMetal theme. Going back
to the default theme made the problem go away! The file dialog box now
pops up immediately rather than after 10-15 secs. Thank you! 
Perhaps this important bit of information should be displayed prominently
on the wxPython web site??
