GVFS is a great thing, but it wasn't developed with this feature in mind. Extensible code is good precisely for this kind of thing; even though you didn't plan to support something specifically, you end up enabling the pathway for that. The way I see it GNOME development team is doing a great job with the building blocks (libraries, frameworks, etc.) But the front-end details need more love.
