I have tested the gvfs and nautilus packages in hardy-proposed. Here are the 
problems I found (they are essentially the same described some time ago in the 
upstream bug report:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=524485#c57

In virtualbox running ubuntu 8.04.2:

When the machine is not joined to an AD domain (LAB), opening the Network 
Servers icon puts me in network:///, showing the "Windows Network" icon.
Clicking on "Windows Network" I enter smb:/// but nautilus reports: 0 objects
Inserting manually smb://LAB/ in the location bar I am asked for a password and 
after inserting the credentials of a domain user I can access the list of the 
machines. Share browsing can be done without problems.

When the machine is joined to an AD domain (LAB) and I login as a local
user the situation is as described above.

When the machine is joined to AD domain (LAB) and I login as a domain
user (with kerberos ticket), opening the Network Servers icon puts me
directly in smb://LAB. Share browsing can be done without problems (but
this was also possible without the patched gvfs).

So, with the proposed packages there are problems in browsing the
Windows Network (smb:///) with machines not joined to an AD domain or in
the absence of kerberos tickets. From the normal user point of view,
this situation is probably worse than before.

nautilus does not display samba shares for machines inside an ADS network.
