Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
Karmic on x86_64.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Mount a samba share using Connect to Server... in the Places menu.
2) Tell the system to remember the credentials for the share.
3) Make a symlink from the home directory to a directory on the samba share so
that the symlink points to ~/.gvfs/sharename on host/directory
4) Shut down the computer but not the samba server.
5) Reboot.
6) Double-click the symlink in Nautilus.
Expected results:
Expected Nautilus to use the share name and host baked into the ~/.gvfs path
and the credentials saved to the keyring to remount the share and then open the
directory pointed to by the symlink.
Actual results:
The symlink is treated as broken.
Additional information:
This is a feature parity bug compared to Mac OS X. Finder on Mac OS X remounts
an AFP share automatically when the user tries to open an alias that points to
a folder on an AFP share that isn't mounted currently.
