Bug Description

I am trying to use the "Import Clip Art..." feature in inkscape 0.91, installed in a Kubuntu 14.04 from the following ppa repository:

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/inkscape.dev/stable/ubuntu trusty main

$ apt-cache policy inkscape
inkscape:
  Installed: 0.91.0+40~ubuntu14.04.1
  Candidate: 0.91.0+40~ubuntu14.04.1
  Version table:
 *** 0.91.0+40~ubuntu14.04.1 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net/inkscape.dev/stable/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     0.48.4-3ubuntu2 0
        500 http://no.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ trusty/main amd64 Packages

The "Import Clip Art" dialog comes up, but no matter what I search I get no results.

The following error is printed in the console:

(inkscape:5338): glibmm-CRITICAL **:
unhandled exception (type Glib::Error) in signal handler:
domain: g-io-error-quark
code : 15
what : The specified location is not supported

You need gvfs (with http/https support, used via GIO) for this to work. Not an inkscape issue - AFAIU this is about runtime config of the local system, and its support for GIO modules (Glib).

Thanks for the quick response!

Install the package gvfs-backends resolves the issue :)

sudo apt-get install gvfs-backends

Marking invalid for Ubuntu, since the official 0.91 downstream package isn't yet released.
