Re: File dialogs: Network access

Not relevant ;-).

It should access the VFS, whatever that may be provided by.  If I'm not
mistaken, there is a gnome-vfs being worked on seperately from gfm, etc.
which would be used.  It may understand web sites or ftp directories and the
file-entry dialog simply needs to interface with that, not re-create this
functionality.
