Description Marc-Andre Lureau 2013-12-15 20:55:56 UTC 
Apparently, glib doesn't have a way to remove an xattr attribute.


g_file_info_set_attribute () doc says:
"To unset the attribute, use G_ATTRIBUTE_TYPE_INVALID for type."

It seems to me the attribute key should be removed too in this case (an empty value should use a non-invalid type)
