I'm trying out the bulia-style announcement.
I applied a simple patch that allows us to use non-local URIs in addition to local paths via Gnome-VFS by using GTK file chooser on the Open, Save ___, and Export dialogs. This means you can use webdav shares, samba mounts, sftp/ssh shares, now...basically, any backend that gnome-vfs supports, we should be able to use. So, in effect, one could work on files from a bluetooth phone filesystem (if so inclined ;).
Before, Gnome-VFS support, Bryce setup as a configure-time option, --with-gnome-vfs, which appears to be turned on by default (even without the configure-time option). And, one could open any URI that gnome-vfs supported from the commandline. So, now we have the added capability
So, please test this out. Also, I'm curious if/how this works on Windows and Mac OS X.

Hmm . If I recall, Gnome-VFS only provides the virtual paths, right? The underlying framework (like Gnome itself) actually does the protocol and stream handling?
I believe Gnome-VFS handles all, but is an abstraction. Check the specs and confirm: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gnome-vfs-2.0/

Check this http://www.gnome.org/start/2.12/notes/en/rndevelopers.html
Note: there is support for gnome-vfs for windows since 2.12 of gnome and 2.8 of gtk.
And, most are using GNOME 2.16 now: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/notes/en/
