xfdesktop: Port to GIO
References to ThunarVFS
main.c
Calls thunar_vfs_init() and thunar_vfs_shutdown(). Those calls can be removed.
xfce-desktop.c
xfce_desktop_setup_icon_view()
Use a GFile instead of a ThunarVfsPath when creating the file icon manager.
Pass the GFile to the manager object instead of the ThunarVfsPath.
xfdesktop-clipboard-manager.c
XfdesktopClipboardPasteRequest
Use a GFile instead of the ThunarVfsPath for the target_path struct member.
xfdesktop_clipboard_manager_get_callback()
Make xfdesktop_file_utils_file_icon_list_to_path_list() return a list of GFile objects.
Reuse thunar_g_file_list_to_string() instead of using thunar_vfs_path_list_to_string().
Use g_list_foreach() and g_list_free() instead of thunar_vfs_path_list_free().
xfdesktop-file-icon.{c,h}
xfdesktop_file_icon_finalize()
There's no need for cancelling jobs if we don't use jobs anymore. Instead we'll use the new D-Bus methods that have been added to Thunar. When using those we can just fire and forget.
xfdesktop_file_icon_activated()
We don't need the file info here. Just launch the file using Thunar's Launch() D-Bus
method. Add an interface method get_file and make it return a GFile. Use this
GFile to compute the URI to be passed to Launch().
Make the interface method peek_info return a GFileInfo.
