[Jon]

Thanks Daniel, I will take another look when I'm back in the office with
the network.

Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Install any Gtk3 application such as Firefox or Chromium which use modern file-chooser dialog. 
  2. Mount network location through fstab or file-manager ("smb://" = SMB/CIFS, "sftp://" = SFTP/SSH and so on)
  3. Try to save/open file to/from the remote location from Gtk3 application.

  Expected results:
  * user is able to find network folder and save/open file to/from it with GtkFileChooser dialog

  Actual results:
  * user is unable to find network folder and save/open file to/from it with GtkFileChooser dialog and many user applications are affected

  -------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Original bug description is below:

  GTK+3 doesn't show FUSE network shares in file chooser - it used to do
  so in GTK+2, and the GTK+3 documentation still mentions it should do
  it.

  In the mean time, every user of every application switching to GTK+3
  -- including Chromium, at some point between 58 and 60 -- (a change
  which happened in 16.04 LTS!!), loses the functionality to open or
  save directly to a network share.

  I had chosen 16.04 LTS for deploying our workstations at work, and my 50 users have been suddenly unable to do a simple operation they have to do dozens of times a day.
  They now have to "buffer" these files to their local filesystem when saving them and before uploading them, and then copy them to the company's network shares.
  They were already a little bit grumpy when it stopped working with Firefox, and are now really side-eyeing me when they apply updates and find Chromium broken.

  I have reported the bug upstream and provided a patch to fix this. I
  hope you'll be able and willing to include it to Ubuntu's GTK+3
  package.

  Thanks in advance.

  Colin
