You might be able to use a proxy model on your file dialog:

    
http://doc.trolltech.com/qtjambi-4.4.0_01/doc/html/com/trolltech/qt/gui/QFileDialog.html#setProxyModel(com.trolltech.qt.gui.QAbstractProxyModel)

This should let you filter out directories that you do not wish to 
include as well as provide them with special decorations etc.
