I don't think you really need a "suckless" alternative or a wrapper library for most of these, there are APIs for most of them depending on your OS. Also, for what it's worth, glib by itself nearly as bad as GIO/GVFS/DBus, especially if you want to be portable. Anyway here's some alternatives, many of these are Linux specific: > 1.
