thanks for this info, but this actually doesn't make it easier for me.

Can someone from the Qt guys or the gnome-vfs team give me some estimate
if the current low-level API is sufficient or not. From my perspective
it is really important to move the low-level API into a stable form
really soon. Even if the version number isn't 1.0 after all.
