When you have a look at the plugins the patch affects, they do (maybe not all 
the g_file_test()s deal with possibly remote files but some definitely do).

But the question is good - we probably shouldn't make an utility function for 
every single IO function - instead there should be something like 

utils_use_gio()

and plugins should use it as needed (we'll already need this for the saveaction 
plugin which needs to be updated to make a backup copy of a possibly remote 
file). This will lead to a minor code duplication in the plugins but I think 
from the API perspective this is the right way. What do you think?

The other question is whether to make such a function inside utils or somewhere 
else (prefs?) or whether to make it e.g. a variable in some config struct. 
Ideas?
