Hi,

Gnome-VFS is is no longer maintained upstream and not really used
anymore in a modern GNOME(-based) desktop

Please consider disabling Gnome-VFS support.

I made a test-build with Gnome-VFS disabled and didn't notice any
functionality regression.

I'm running GNOME 3.20, where gvfs, the successor is installed.
In the file picker I could open files from remote mounts without
problems.

So to me it seems like it should be safe to disable Gnome-VFS (and
eventually depend on gvfs instead).

I have to add that inkscape is the last application on my desktop which
pulls in libgnome-vfs and its dependencies.
It would be nice to get rid of them.

Regards,
Michael
