Here's a little status update on what's been done, and what still needs 
work for 0.4.2:

There were a few extra fixes...


So, 4 out of 6 tasks were done, I'd say it's pretty good, though we 
didn't make it for the Maverick release, but at least now there's no 
time pressure and we can fix and polish freely :)

IMO right now there are a couple of high-prio issues in lda - we need a 
few more features before making stable lda 0.4 release. Those missing 
features are:
- do something with remote uris - add API similar to gio's 
File.mount_enclosing_volume()
- support volume-mounting with context (for password-requesting volumes) 
and the same for desktop-entry launching (to cleanly support startup 
notifications)

Currently I'd lean to implementing it in a gio-oriented fashion... Any 
comments? malept??
