[Pkg-xfce-devel] Bug#633772: thunar: fails to open SMB shared folders

[Art Ortenburger]

Package: thunar
Version: 1.2.2-1
Severity: normal

When I try to browse an SMB share in Thunar, it produces an "Open With" dialog,
which is useless for opening SMB folders. Thunar previously behaved correctly
[no version available]. Konqueror and smbclient are able to access the folder.

The shared folder is served over a LAN by Windows XP Home Edition as
\\MAIN\SharedDocs.
To reproduce, I click Network in the Thunar Shortcuts side pane. Two options
are presented -- MAIN and "Windows Network," which, after entering the "MSHOME"
workgroup, both lead to MAIN. MAIN hosts two shares -- print$ and SharedDocs --
which appear as folders in Thunar. Double-clicking either of them produces an
"Open With" dialog, as usually shown for unknown filetypes; because it is going
through a VFS, none are any use. It seems to have identified the file as type
"(null)". Right-clicking either folder and selecting "Open in New Window"
successfully opens them in a new windows, but does not mount them, so they
appear empty and are useless.
