gtk.FileChooser backend example

According to the documentationgtk.FileChooserDialog(title=None, parent=None, action=gtk.FILE_CHOOSER_ACTION_OPEN, buttons=None, backend=None) accepts a backend parameter: backend : The name of the specific filesystem backend to use.

Can someone explain how this can be used, as after trawling for quite some time the None default seems to be the only use case I can find.

Thanks.

I can't find a concrete example, but according to this the parameter was used to specify a custom VFS type, such as gnome-vfs to use GVFS. It was deprecated in 2.14, which was released in 2008, and is completely absent in GTK+ 3. (GVFS can now use fuse to mount its VFS directly onto the filesystem.) You don't need to worry about it.
