No. It is recommended to avoid using the GUI file manager in dom0.

You need to install the gvfs package in the template you are using for 
your AppVM.


It's not a standard package installed by default because it relies on 
many other packages. Do a search in your flavor repository 
(fedora,debian,etc) for the package and install it in your template, and 
then restart your AppVM.

But this is not an AppVM or a template, I think. I am seeing this 
message from Dom0 environment.


Troubleshooting Steps:
a) Boot Qubes 4 and enter password to start login session
b) Open Qubes menu in top panel
c) Open System Tools, File Manager Settings
d) Open Advanced tab

The window title is "[Dom0] File Manager Preferences".

Here is the message under a title "Missing dependencies" and inside a 
blue box:

It seems like this must be a problem I must fix.
