Try this:

QString dir =
QFileDialog::getExistingDirectory(
	this,
	tr("Open Directory"),
	"/home",
	QFileDialog::ShowDirsOnly);

This pops-up a file dialog where you can select (any _existing_) 
directories just as you would from any other application. Then you can 
pass *dir* to setCurrent() or do with it whatever you like! HTH
