Well, gtk-file-chooser-backend is deprecated, IIRC, now that gtk has gio 
and gvfs.  So basically, if you have a recent gtk version (2.14 at 
least?) and gio/gvfs installed, it'll just work.  If you have an older 
gtk version, you'll have to figure out how to set Gtk/FileChooserBackend.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to *add* new XSETTINGS properties to 
either Xfce 4.4 or 4.6 without hacking some source.  It's a bit easier 
to do in 4.6, though.  (Actually, it's possible that 4.6 already 
supports Gtk/FileChooserBackend, but my gut feeling is it doesn't.)
