This thread comes in quite timely. I was wondering whether there is a 
way to avoid GUI dialogs completely, even when you trigger a 
functionality from the menu. Simple example would be 'File'->'Save as'. 
Hidden files and directories are much easier accessed from the 
minibuffer than from the GUI. So sometimes it's describe-key for the 
menu-entry and then M-x the function and that's a bit convoluted from 
the user point-of-view.
