Only on Unix though, but I guess that is of little concern to Unix desktop 
environment projects :)

I always like the idea of GVFS mount daemons. I think that a Qt based 
implementation of at least the client library would make a nice official Qt 
addon, that is, assuming that a couple of the mount daemons can be made 
crossplatform.

Basically getting remote file access available on all Qt supported platforms, 
even on those that do not support it themselves.

When GVFS was introduced I investigated the option of implementing the 
protocol using Qt native facilities, but at that time maintainer Alexander 
Larsson said that the protocol wasn't stable enought yet.

KIO will be one of the KDE frameworks rated as Solution, i.e. depends on 
runtime services (just like GVFS), but it has very little other dependencies.
