Bug Description

In Hardy,
although gvfs-backends (0.2.3-0ubuntu5) installed
"obex:///" location cannot be browsed by nautilus.
It displays message:
   Couldn't display "obex:///".
   Error: Invalid mount spec
   Please select another viewer and try again.

I have also installed gnome-vfs-obexftp (but I hope it is not needed)
but the problem is the same.

There was no problem with browsing "obex:///" location in Gutsy.

Not 100% certain, but I believe obex:/// is an invalid URI (which is meant by "Invalid Mount-spec", I admit, not the most user-friendly message to return); you should be entering your device's MAC address: obex://[12:34:56:78:90:12]/

In Gutsy "obex:///" worked ok,
and I really thing it is a good idea to show all discovered devices (their mac addresses) as a content of
obex:/// (or obex://).
It is definitely not user friendly to force user to remember mac addresses of all his obex devices
(or use command line tools to retrieve them)
