Bug Description

Ubuntu Natty: I connect to a server location (Places | Connect to server), connect to a Windows share, specify a folder and add a bookmark. It connects perfectly to the network location but it puts a 'shortcut' icon (sorry for this terminology; I come from the Windows world) on the desktop, called 'username$ on 10.0.0.10'. Unfortunately I cannot rename this shortcut, which is quite annoying, since this name doesn't make any sense for non-technical members of my family.
Even worse, when I add another bookmark to a different folder on this server it adds a shortcut with exactly the same name: 'username$ on 10.0.0.10', even though they point to different folders.
I believe this is the same issue as reported in #109260 but that was closed no change.
Please make it possible to rename these entries, or at least assign them the friendly BOOKMARK name.

I'm using Ubuntu; this is also mentioned in the description of the issue. Why would it be 'about Kubuntu'?

The other bug you mentioned was about Kubuntu, that was why I thought your bug might be as well. Let's hope Nautilus is the right package, and that some of the devs can fix it.
