links to smb hosts in places of gnome-panel do not work

[segler]

if i click on a link in places -> bookmarks which points to a smb server like so: "smb://myserver" i get a message in the attachment.
if i click on a link which is like "smb://myserver/myshare" it works. this is really strange :)

I reproduced it on my desktop and on my laptop computer.
to reproduce just:
* open nautilus and type something like "smb://servername" for a working smb server
* nautilus displays the shares as it should
* click bookmarks -> add bookmark
* click gnome-panel -> places -> bookmarks -> the new bookmark
* the error occurs

* but!!!: if i click on the same new bookmark in places of a nautilus window, it works without problems

Same problem on my desktop since Ubuntu 8.10. The problem occurs for smb:// and ssh:// links.
