 Any ideas how the gnomevfs API exposes the seekable property, I can't
 find a method. Opening the file with OPEN_RANDOM causes gnomevfs to
 open the stream without an error but then it continues to read random
 memory...

+Got the follwoing reply from Alexander Larsson when asking about this
+on gnome-vfs list:
+
+Hmmm. This sounds strange. gnome_vfs_seek() should return 
+GNOME_VFS_ERROR_NOT_SUPPORTED if you seek on a handle where its not 
+supported. For local file-uris I don't see how it can read random
+memory, gnome_vfs_seek() just calls lseek().
+
+However, there is no "seekable" property you can read. Is there even a 
+posix API we could use to implement this?
