   Life would have been easier if GnomeURLError used negative error codes,
   reserving all = 0 for GnomeVFSResult retvals.
  
  GnomeURLError was written before gnome_vfs_show_url existed...
  
   I've also CCed random people that often occur in recent ChangeLogs of
   the affected producs and/or released tarballs. MAINTAINERS files aren't
   up to date for any of these.
  
  The gnome-vfs patch should really modify _gnome_vfs_get_slow_mime_type()
  (it is the only used for this function) instead of copying it into the
  function.
 
 Yes, I know. I just didnt want to change that header. You reminded me
 that even private API deserves some attention. Attaching a new patch
 set.
 
 What do you propose to resolve the
 gnome_vfs_get_mime_type/_gnome_vfs_get_slow_mime_type signature
 inconsistency the change introduces, considering that
 _gnome_vfs_get_slow_mime_type is very likely to become public one day,
 if not for GnomeVFS 2.14?

One could expose the public version of the function which is similar to
gnome_vfs_get_mime_type, which just calls the current (patched)
_gnome_vfs_get_slow_mime_type. That makes the public interface similar,
and they are just helper functions anyway, so the slight limitation
doesn't really hurt much.

 Also, if you don't want to break UI freeze, you can choose to not mark
 the new string as translatable. But it can probably wait for 2.13, can't
 it?

Now that I read the release-team policies again, you are right that it
doesn't fit into the release critical category. But it's a bug a
notable percentage of our users experiences. So I'm ready to withdraw
this request if anybody is against it, but still would love to get it
in.

I'm not against it. But I don't think it's worth to break the string
freeze. I'm not a i18n guy, though ;-)
