Thanks.

I would prefer to wait, because
1. gnome-vfs is a high-risk module, deep in the development stack.
2. rhythmbox is not part of the Desktop yet so we don't have to worry
about it quite so much.
3. I think this rhythmbox problem has existed for a long time. I'm glad
that you've found the solution for it, but I don't think it's suddenly
more urgent.
