Comment 45 for bug 775117

This is still present in 12.10 and still has to be fixed quickly in my opinion. Modifying /usr/share/gvfs/mounts/network.mount has three clear downsides; it has to be done on every machine after every clean install (so basically twice a year on all your computers); it puts an ugly broken-file icon with the text "network://" in the side pane (which simply looks amateuristic), and local changes are overwritten on every update of gvfs-backends. Nautilus, on the other hand, works fine without modifying any file. Why can't Thunar act the way Nautilus does? Clicking the network icon in Nautilus will render the short delay; not the initial startup.
