2. Bug 179452 export to openclipart.org in dev version

Export to OCAL appears to be broken. The entry for this should be
removed from the File menu. It would be quite an embarrassing thing to
have a main menu item not work. (I would propose permanently removing
this feature as using the OCAL web interface to upload pictures is more
practical and is not subject to changes on OCAL's end.)

+1, the OCAL code uses GnomeVFS which is long deprecated. In 0.49 we should replace passing filenames in the extension system with passing open GIO streams, this way we can save to remote locations. As an intermediate step we can remove all GnomeVFS code and rely on gvfs-mount (e.g. the thing in ~/.gvfs). It just requires some tinkering with the GTK file dialogs and we get paths that can be opened like regular local files using POSIX and standard library functions).
