A quick grep suggests that GIO is used in parts of the daemon, mainly 
GIOChannel for abstracting pipes and sockets (as used eg. in the pkcs#11 
part).

I think it's used for storing settings. As those aren't too numerous/complex I 
think it could either be abstracted away (we'd need a kcmodule anyways) or 
replaced by something else. Are any of the other fd.o projects using a common 
lib for configuration settings?
