  My main irritation as a web site maintainer about using gnome-vfs
for general web browsing is that it should cache the fact that a given
server doesn't provide PROPFIND capabilities. This would effectively
divide by 2 the number of request made (I detected this while looking
at rpmfind web server logs and finding PROPFIND/GET/PROPFIND/GET sequences 
from gnome-vfs clients :-).
