Comment 3 for bug 905497

For users who use gvfs exclusively in a desktop environment:

This kind of issue is apparently somewhat addressed by a program called Gigolo (http://www.uvena.de/gigolo/index.html)

It makes it easier for me to do the reconnecting. More specifically, it doesn't care if the mount was left dangling; it's smart enough to sort that out simply by being asked to connect.

As for those who might be using gvfs to support CLI operations... maybe Gigolo's source code can reveal some potentially useful insights that can be carried into gvfs... http://git.xfce.org/apps/gigolo
