I've committed a change to configure.ac which defaults the GNOME VFS feature to 'on' if automake detects that the Gnome VFS library is present on the system.
Keep an eye out for bugs; I've fixed all the ones I've known about.
As a reminder, the GNOME VFS feature makes it possible to specify a URL on the commandline when starting inkscape. I.e.:
$ inkscape http://mysite.org/foobar.svg
It will load the svg file via http into memory and launch Inkscape.
There is no support for this in the File Open dialog at this time; it still works only with local files. I don't have any plans to change that, so if you want it, feel free to add it.

Bryce, what do you see the implementation of this as resembling in the File Open dialog? Also, maybe a quick run down of what you are thinking would be nice...

Dunno, but a few people had asked about if they could paste URL's into that dialog, so I figured I'd point out that you couldn't. ;-)

Maybe there can be an Open File from URL or something in the menu that opens a simple popup with input box and ok and cancel button...
I bet Bulia would have a good idea how to do this right ;)

The GTK file picker supports it, look at the local-only property (I think that's what you want here)
