I get no errors, bookmarking works. The problem is that I find this to be suboptimal. There are two issues involved:
- the "I can't use the old server connection dialog", which is Bug #198531
- the duplication of folders and the use of bookmarks*

So here is my big question. If bug #198531 is fixed, will I be able to connect to a server, specifying a folder, and that it would be "mounted" with that folder ONLY, not "mounted at / with an additional bookmark to /foo/bar"?

As I said, using bookmarks is not very nice because
- It creates duplication (1 mount + n bookmarks)
- I want a distinction between my local stuff and "mounted" stuff

Basically, I just want to be sure that I will not be forced to have, let's say:
- mount: sftp on kirika
- bookmark: folder1 on sftp on kirika
- bookmark: folder2 on sftp on kirika

My current workflow, in gnome 2.20, was this:
- mount: folder1 on sftp on kirika
- mount: folder2 on sftp on kirika

So, I don't want to have unnecessary "/" mounts that I will never use. I want only mounts that point to specific folders.

Does that explanation make things clearer than before?
