Patrick,

I'm not sure your patch is necessary.  Did you try adding /gvfs/sftp to
your component library search list?  Eeschema should be able to search
any valid path in the list of library search paths for component library
files.

I don't know how long you've been following the dev mailing list but
your patch will be obsoleted during the current development cycle once
the new schematic and component library file formats are implemented.
The search path concept is going away because it is inherently broken
and will be replace with a look up table similar in scope to the
footprint library table.  Changing this code is not going to happen
because it will only complicate the transition to the new file format.

Cheers,

Wayne
