Re: Sebastien and Gary

Yes, the problem is application-specific. Core GNOME applications like
GEdit and Evince include mounted network shares in the Volumes list.
Other applications like Firefox do not. From what I understand about
GtkFileChooser, this functionality has to be added explicitly because it
requires GIO. The default GtkFileChooserDialog does not display network
shares.

The other, related, problem mentioned by Mossroy is that bookmarked, but
unmounted, network shares don't show up in any application except
Nautilus. If you inspect the ~/.gtk-bookmarks file, you can see entries
like smb://server/share in the file, but only Nautilus recognizes these
URIs. On 12.04, GEdit and Evince also recognized them and displayed them
with the other bookmarks (Documents, Downloads, etc), but Firefox did
not. On 12.10, only Nautilus recognizes them.
