Yes, there are still a few bugs with these new Places features. Mainly: (1) picking which mountpoints should show up and (2) making sure unmount works for every shown mountpoint. This is why I haven't released this code to the PPA yet. I'll be working on these issues soon.

I agree that the Network item is a bit strange. My original plan was to keep this item and list all mounted remote folders underneath it -- like Nautilus Elementary does. I think it will make a little more sense then, or at the very least it will be a little more cohesive.

My larger plan, when introduction these new features to the Places menu, was that we should soon give Cardapio a 3rd mode of operation, next to the existing Panel Mode and the Launcher Mode. The 3rd mode, tentatively called Horizontal Panel Mode, would recreate the "Application Places System" menu, and clicking on each each would open a different Cardapio view.

* "Applications" would open regular Cardapio, but without the Places category or Control Center.

* "Places" would open Cardapio showing only Places, but categorized into "Personal", "Devices", and "Network", like in Nautilus Elementary. Plus also "Recent Documents" with Zeitgeist.

* "System" would open Cardapio showing only the Control Center categories.

I'm just not sure what Super+Space would do when in Horizontal Panel Mode. Should it open "regular" Cardapio, or should it open "Applications", like the default menu does?

(by the way, someone posted this idea before either in a bug report or a blueprint, but I can't seem to find it to link it here)
