Last time I tried this, gnome-vfs's support for archive extraction was 
unreliable. It still seems broken on gnome-vfs 2.11.1:

  # gnomevfs-info file:///home/dsd/Downloads/squashfs2.2.tar.gz#gzip:#tar:
  Segmentation fault
  # gnomevfs-ls file:///home/dsd/Downloads/squashfs2.2.tar.gz#gzip:#tar:
  Segmentation fault
