this function will initialize the "gnome virtual file system" library, 
which can use threads internally, but your gtk application will not 
notice that, because all calls to gtk are done in the main thread.

so it is safe to use gnome_vfs functions in a non-threaded gtk program 
without expecting any threading issues.
