Bug report in Quantal

[Scott Moore]

I don't use Gigolo on my other installs of 12.04. I know Thunar doesn't 
display it by default (which is a shame) but all I needed to do to enable 
the network icon in Thunar is to add those packages, gvfs-fuse and 
gvfs-backends. This works every time. The fact that it's not working in 
12.10 is a problem.

I understand the Thunar devs are opposed to adding network share browsing to 
Thunar without these extra hacks and it's a real shame. I would like to see 
the Xubuntu team abandon Thunar for a better file manager if they refuse to 
come into the 21st century where people have networks in their homes and 
need to browse between shares. Why make it difficult for noobs?

Just my 2 cents...

"gvfs-fuse and gvfs-backends (along with their dependencies) are
installed but I don't have the Network icon in Thunar to browse the
network shares. " - This is handled through the application gigolo
(under system in the applications menu) instead of thunar (thunar is not
nautilus).
