Is there any news about the GIO branch? Browsing the git repo it looks
as if it fizzled out about a year ago. I've been using Nautilus to
transfer files to and from Windows lately and it's far nicer than
smbclient. It would be nice if ROX-Filer could do this too, possibly
with an extra app to browse the network, but I don't know how
authentication would work then.

I'm starting to feel that the ROX desktop is in danger of falling behind
GNOME in overall usability even though the core filer is still better
than Nautilus. Being able to use ROX-Filer over a network (without being
confined to native filing systems like NFS) would give it a big shot in
the arm.
