So, basically what you want is to disable the OK button until the user selects a file. Well, I have a few comments on this.

First, GtkFileSelection is depreciated. Instead, you should use the GtkFileChooser family of widgets. If you use GtkFileChooserDialog with an action of GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN, the dialog will not allow the OK button to be pressed until the user selects a file. If I'm understanding what you are saying, this should suit your purposes.

The following code creates a GtkFileChooserDialog that is used to open a file. You will have to put in your file chooser window title and parent window. When the Open button is pressed, the filename is retrieved. The case statement falls through to default so that it will always be destroyed at the end.

GtkWidget *dialog;
gint result;

dialog = gtk_file_chooser_dialog_new ("Window Title", GTK_WINDOW (parent_window), GTK_FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN, GTK_STOCK_CANCEL, GTK_RESPONSE_CANCEL, GTK_STOCK_OPEN, GTK_RESPONSE_OK, NULL);

gint result = gtk_dialog_run (GTK_DIALOG (dialog));
switch (result)
{
case (GTK_RESPONSE_OK):
gchar *file = gtk_file_chooser_get_filename (GTK_FILE_CHOOSER (dialog));
/* Use the filename here. */
default:
gtk_widget_destroy (dialog);
}

A few more notes ... you will have to free the string returned by gtk_file_chooser_get_filename() when you are done with g_free(). Also, GtkFileChooserDialog implements the GtkFileChooser interface, so you can use any of its functions or properties with GtkFileChooserDialog.
