Network Drives on the desktop

[Bryan Pizzuti]

I never noticed...I DID notice that it's mirrored to the "Disks"
selection in the "Computer" menu. Any disk that's added to the machine
gets mirrored to the desktop, so that would follow I suppose.

I also noticed that when you "Connect to drive" it's nearly useless
except for a quick-access thing in Nautilus. Most applications won't
even see the "drive" in an "open file" dialog; even GNOME apps.  I'm
working on a Nuatilus script that will simply mount to a directory in
$HOME after prompting for a username and password.

And NO, DON'T anyone offer help until I ask for it! I want to figure
this out on my own, and I think I MIGHT actually be able to! Don't deny
me my sense of accomplishment! ;) Once I do it I'm gonna send a note to
the GNOME dev team....Nautilus (and Konqueror) should really do like
this rather than using a VFS, for compatibility purposes. 

Of course, none of this would be necessaqry if SMB4K, LinNeighborhood,
or JAGS were working properly in Ubuntu, but smbmount doesn't appear to
get installed as SUID ROOT.
