UNC paths, glib, and the file chooser

[Federico Mena Quintero <federico ximian com>]

Hi,

Sven just filed this bug for Glib:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=166577

And there's a related thing for the Unix backend of the file chooser:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135877

The Glib bug is about not doing the right conversion.  The file chooser
bug is about canonicalizing filenames, which is not really Glib's job,
but we may be able to use the same code for both parts of both tasks.

Does anyone know the One True Way(tm) to UNC paths?  I have no idea of
how they are supposed to work, either on Unix or in Windows.
