This is most definatily duplicable in Dapper with GIMP 2.2.11. This is on a screen with 1024 x 768 resolution.

imho, it is never correct to have the buttons in a dialog go off the screen. Many average users don't put one and one together and realize that they just need to close the expander.

I should add that in order to recreate this you also need to have the browser expander expanded. When the browser expander is minimised the file type expander properly expands and retracts. When the browser expander is expanded however, the browser area is expanded downward once the file type expander is retracted. This causes the save button to remain off screen. In essence, If you open both expanders at least the browser expander needs to be retracted to view the save button.

I would agree with Christoffer that the file-types should be in a combobox. Of course, the gtk combobox with a largish number of entries is another issue all together.
