  To reproduce:
-   1) Use nautilus to mount a remote SSH share.
-   2) Start Meld
-   3) Click "File comparison"
-   4) Click one of the file selection buttons [with the text "(None)"].
-   5) A file picker dialog opens.  Observe that this dialog permits you
-      to select files on network shares.
-   6) Pick some file on the SSH share mounted earlier, and click "Open".

  Expected: Meld should either:
-   - Support reading files from network shares (like my SSH mountpoint).
+   - Support reading files from network shares (like my SSH mountpoint).

  Actual:  Meld's file picker allows me to select a file from my SSH
  mountpoint and thus implicit promises to handle such files.  But when I
  click "Open", Meld silently rejects the file and continues to
  show "(None)" in the file selection button.
