** Description changed:

  Unity 4.12's Launcher shows only HDDs/DVDs/CDs/USB... but not FTP (and
  probably not SSH and others).
  
  Desired solution:
  - It should be possible add any virtual drive to the Launcher by searching 
for it in the 'Folder' category of the Dash File Lens, and drag and dropping it 
on to the Launcher.
  - See bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/713423 for a 
description of a number of the behavioural issues around this functionality.
  - It should be possible to remove the virtual drives from the Launcher by 
un-checking the "keep in Launcher" option or drag and dropping their launcher 
icon into the trash.
+ - Virtual internet drives (FTP, SSH) should be treated as removable drives 
(see bug #713423) because internet connections can be transient, and 
connecting/disconnecting from the internet is effectively plugging in and 
unplugging the drive.
