After having spent substantially time porting gtk-gnutella to Windows I can
tell you that basing anything on glib sounds like a pretty bad idea. In
particularly anything KDE, <flame>which is based on something that actually
works...</flame>

Anyway, in my opinion you should gather some more knowledge about KDE and
then rethink your strategy. If you already have KIOSlaves for almost
everything that simply work, I don't see any compelling reason for KDE to
adopt gnome-vfs if the latter provides fewer functionality and stability. If
you adopt KIOSlaves for GNOME -- maybe improving it on your way --, don't
you think you'd have more success that way?

Just my 2¢...
