Actually your way is much better, for instance, think in the following
example:

    $ cd /foo/bar/*x*<Tab>

My widget would just print all possible expansions, no matter if entries
are directories or files.  In your way, it sees the context is "cd" and
prints only directories.

I'm going to study styles further and check how can it be improved.

Thank you again! :-)
