I would think that it should try to find a KIO slave first, and fall back on 
GVFS if absent. In a similar vein, if such a bridge were also written to use 
KIO slaves in Gnome, I would expect they would prefer the GVFS slaves and 
fall back on ours.

Why would anyone would want a KDE application to prefer a GVFS slave over a 
KIO one? No matter how good the bridge it would still not be as efficient as 
a native KIO one.
