So, when gnome-terminal asks gvfs to handle an url for it, gvfs goes off and *downloads* the head of the url, so it can run magic on it. The preferred application settings are entirely ignored AFAICS. If the file is a tarball, it opens file-roller. If it's a file, it opens gedit. Etc.
If the file is a cgi script that contains sleep 120, gnome-terminal just hangs for 2 minutes. That means *all* your terminals hang if you open this url. Sweet. http://kitenet.net/~joey/tmp/himom.cgi See also: #561272 Now I think that in that bug, it's trying to mount the ftp site so that it can download the file, in order to determine what to run. -- see shy jo
