Bug Description
When a ftp connection has been established using gnome-vfs (Connect to Server application).
A folder wil appear on the desktop. Opening a file from this folder in GEdit works fine. Except for the fact that I can't save the file.
The strangest thing is, when closing the file, GEdit notifies me of unsaved changes and askes me wether or not to save. When I click save, a nice progressbar appears at the top and saves the file, and the changes are commited.
Am I doing anything wrong, or is it just impossible to save a file without closing over gnome-vfs ftp connection?

This is a desired behaviour, since the gnome-vfs ftp support has not be judged reliable enough to enable saving by default. (indeed, it's quite buggy). Anyway I agree the save-on-close thingy looks a bit weird.
You can activate saving through ftp by adding ftp to the list of supported protocols in the gconf key at /apps/gedit- 2/preferences/ editor/ save/writable_ vfs_schemes
You can also have a look at http:// bugzilla. gnome.org/ show_bug. cgi?id= 331072 which is somewhat related.
