I applied a simple patch
I think that it should be noted that Ed Catmur was the author of the patch. Thanks Ed!
Yes, big thanks to Ed! I added him to the AUTHORS file as well :)
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 ;).
I'm a bit concerned about this patch. Mostly it adds the ability to browse gnome-vfs filesystems with the file browser. But, the only file input method that supports using it is the SVG one. It seems very confusing that you can see files you can't open.
I'm not saying "back it out," as much as, this needs to be fixed before a release or we need to disable it.

Bryce, you might comment as well on the original implementation...
I swear for the life of me I can't track down the original patch in the tracker to cc the author. Otherwise, I should look into as well... ;)
