Yep. I see that now in a few apps - like gedit and rhythmbox.

Interesting. Is it a goal for Ubuntu or Gnome developers (I realize
those overlap sometimes) to make the apps in a default install use
gnome-vfs, or is that an issue for the application developers to fix?

The Gimp for instance doesn't seem to be gnome-vfs aware, and the app
that initially started my confusion was Muine, which I realize isn't a
supported app.

It sounds like the best way to use remote shares is still the old
fstab and mount stuff for now.
