Thanks Shaun.

Wouldn't that be platform specific? I'm new to the GTK+ world so I'm
still confused about which file to use. Currently that's even not that
important, because the other library I use has it's own stream type like
GIO has and it hasn't the ability to convert it to a standard file
stream. So mixing the two APIs isn't possible. What a shame.
