I have a new set of patches on the bug that are ready to be reviewed.

  https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=707787

If we can avoid having to use GDir entirely based on your analysis, then
I am quite happy for that.

In any case, can we please move discussion and analysis to the bug
report?  It makes it easier for people who try to trace down why we did
what we did and may be helpful for freeze break requests, if it comes
down to that.

Thanks
