KDE is not an OS platform... (And neither is Gnome)

I don't see why the mounts are a benefit of GVFS. From what I've seen on Gnome 
(which I used only for some minutes), one can only access an FTP server after 
having mounted it, which is quite cumbersome. KIO does just connect to any FTP 
server on the fly. And in your patches, you're mapping GVFS mounts to the 
KFilePlacesModel, which is IMO more like a bookmarking system than a mounting 
system. KFilePlacesModel in fact looks more versatile to me than the GVFS 
mounts.

Regarding GVFS mounts, I could be talking bullshit here because I don't know 
better. If this is true, please tell me. This is just my first impression from 
Gnome (on Ubuntu Jaunty).
