Bug#290012: libgnomeui-0: gnome-vfs backend for GtkFileChooser isn't working...

[Michael P]

Package: libgnomeui-0
Version: 2.8.0-3
Severity: normal

I was reading the latest issue of GNOME Journal, and there was an
article about how my gnome-vfs volumes should show up in GtkFileChooser.
I have two gnome-vfs ssh volumes on my desktop, but they do not show up
if I, for example, open gedit and try to save a file.

lsof does show that gedit has loaded the library:
/usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.4.0/filesystems/libgnome-vfs.so
but the filesystems don't show up in the "Save in folder" drop-down like
this picture indicates it should:

If I'm doing something wrong; I apologize.  I've used these gnome-vfs
mounts for a while, but it never occurred to me that they should be
showing up in the file chooser; it sure would be a nice feature,
though!  Consequently I'm not sure if this ever used to work on my
system or not...

Here's the article that discusses it:

Thanks,
Michael
