[Bug 68011] need to reload to see smb workgroup information

Public bug reported:

I have an SMB network, which at the time of this test consists only of
two samba servers running Debian sarge and etch.

When I try to browse the `windows network' with the file browser, I have
to say `reload' to get my workgroup to stop being a plain document icon
which I can do nothing with.

To reproduce: on my network, with a freshly installed edgy 20061024.1
RC:

1. Select Places / Network Servers
2. When the window appears, double click on Windows Network
3. I see a Nautilus window `Windows Network' containing a single icon.  The icon is named `relativity' (which is the name of the SMB workgroup) and is a plain-sheet-of-paper icon.
4. On the plain icon, right click and ask for properties.  I see:
  Basic:  Name: relativity; Type: desktop configuration file; Size: unknown; Location: smb://; MIME type: application/x-desktop
  Link:  URL: smb://relativity/
Close the properties dialogue.
5. Double-click on `relativity'.  This yields an error box
  Couldn't display "smb://relativity".
  The location is not a folder
Dismiss the error.
6. Press reload on the Nautilus window.  After one or a few attempts, the icon turns into a network icon, and all is working - I can double click to see the network, etc.

** Affects: gnome-vfs2 (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: Unconfirmed
