I'd like to point out that this is not about Gnome VFS, but GVFS which is the replacement for Gnome VFS. Gnome VFS will still be in gnome and minimally supported for backwards compatibility. The way gvfs works is that it runs a single master daemon (gvfsd) that keeps track of the current gvfs mounts. Each mount is run in a separate daemon (some mounts share a daemon process, but most don't). Clients talk to the mounts with a combination of dbus calls (on the session bus and using peer-to-peer dbus) and a custom protocol for file contents. If fuse is supported, then the gvfs fuse filesystem will be automatically mounted on "~/.gvfs". This filesystem will let you access files on all visible gvfs mounts. If you open a file in nautilus on a gvfs share with an application that doesn't support uris then it will be automatically opened via the right ~/.gvfs path instead, allowing both loading and saveing of the file. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
