I can only comment on the GnomeVFS part, the reason this haven't been  
pushed to upstream is basically that D-BUS hasn't hit 1.0 and frozen  
it's API/ABI yet. When this happens we will as it looks now push to  
get the D-BUS branch into stock GnomeVFS.

In the meantime the project is available at:

http://developer.imendio.com/wiki/GnomeVFS_D-BUS

This is effectively a fork of GnomeVFS 2.8 with some patches from  
GnomeVFS 2.10 backported. We are in good contact with the maintainers  
of GnomeVFS about a later merge if that is feasible for stock GnomeVFS.

Best Regards,
