I want to do this for stable tarball releases only. In current stage
of development, change of API/ABIs can be frequent.

PCManFM should show the created files even on remote filesystems right
after you create them. Otherwise it's a bug.

Firefox + IE + Opera all does this. So does old PCManFM 0.5 series.
In addition, design like nautilus greatly limited the usability of
tabs since you can only have very few tabs due to limited space.

Given the program is now used by so many users, it's better to have
releases with better quality.
