Bug Description

The new mount point since 12.10 is incompatible with Wine apps. Basically a right click>open with will fail because of invalid characters. Same with File>Open dialogs.

Example invalid mount point:

/var/run/user/username/gvfs/smb-share:server=192.168.0.1,share=public

That is annoying when Office 2010 is needed to open/edit a file that LibreOffice don't render properly (Yes, that happens)

Workaround: use AutoFS instead of GVFS
