I live in a dream world where everything is cross-desktop just by
using GLib/GVFS. It's apparently not that easy. I personally refuse to
dig too deep into these issues; linux needs high-level application
APIs, developing without that is simply no fun.

The positive way to see it -- Kupfer is simple; we leverage and expose
the functionality that already exists, but hope to create something by
bringing it together.
