Bug Description

Hi!

I have some mounted shares in nautilus, which are also added to bookmarks (so every share is either shown as mounted or as bookmarked) when I try to add an attachment I can't add a file from mounted share nor bookmark - neither bookmarks nor mounted shares are shown in the open file dialog.

As far as I understand it's because missing thunderbird GVFS support. I think it's very important to fix it, because thunderbird will be the default mail client and the situation when the file is located on the remote share is usual, especially in corporate environment.

Steps to reproduce:

Want to add attachment to an email. The files are on a remote share bookmarked with nautilus.

Actual results:

The nautilis bookmark are not listed in the windows. I have to manually show hidden files and browse into .gvfs to go in the remote share.

As far as I understand it's because missing thunderbird GVFS support.

Expected results:

We have to see (on the left panel) bookmark share in the attachment file windows to access the network share.
