kio-mtp sort of works with Nexus 4 but it crashes more often than actually manages to complete any 
copying task. Sometimes, just sometimes, it succeeds. I got the impression that maybe it's not 
maintained or really, really buggy. So I used the method described on the web [1] and mount the 
phone using simple-mtpfs. Not clicky nor automatic but works reliably.

Is kio_mtp supported or a dying package?
