You could simply use g_file_test () to check if the path refers to a directory.

Now, if you want to use the GnomeVFS facilities, you need to get the
GnomeVFSFileInfo for that URI, and then check the type field. Something like

GnomeVFSFileInfo *info;
info = gnome_vfs_file_info_new ();

result = gnome_vfs_get_file_info_uri (uri, info, 
                                      GNOME_VFS_FILE_INFO_DEFAULT |
                                      GNOME_VFS_FILE_INFO_FOLLOW_LINKS);

if (info->type == GNOME_VFS_FILE_TYPE_DIRECTORY) {
  /* lala */
} else {
  /* lele */
}

gnome_vfs_file_info_unref (info);


Greetings,

Claudio
