gvfs is a work in progress, don't expect to be able to use it
productively (or even work) atm. If you're interested in helping out,
what we want is feedback on the APIs.

No, but neither can you in gnome-vfs.

Well, I just don't think it fixes very much. But ok, it does allow some
people (the very few who knows about this feature and have a setup where
they need it) to set up things in a way that things work slightly
better. 

So, while I don't particulary like this solution its probably
acceptable, since it doesn't affect people not using it.

However, the patch looks a bit broken, it uses g_filename_display_name()
to convert the filename, and that only converts things if
G_BROKEN_FILENAMES (or the other env vars like G_FILENAME_ENCODING) is
set (instead of looking at G_BROKEN_FILENAMES_SMB.
