Bug Description
The "Connect to Server" feature is severely broken as long as most applications can't access anything on such mounts. The current gnome-vfs implementation is too high-level. Instead something like fuse and gvfs or vio should be used.

I just posted a rant in the forums about this. This problem is the cause of 50% of my frustration. The other 50% involves Totem. If you are like me and have movies and music stored on a Windows server, you are stuck with Totem, as you cannot access the media with anything else because even though the share is "connected", it's NOT mounted, which doesn't do anyone any good. In its current state, it's nothing more than a useless shortcut on my desktop.
