[Bug 1070447] Re: Nautilus creates broken symbolic links to files located on GVFS mounts

[Ritesh Khadgaray]

Hi

  A premium Customer is looking for a fix for this issue on precise and
quantal ( both use nautlius 3.4.x) . I have attached the required patch
to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/287476, a
back port form upstream and tested it. Works fine for me.

  There is minimal probability of regression , and the patch is a part
of upstream.

Thank you
