** Description changed:

  Precise, nautilus 1:3.4.2-0ubuntu3
  
- Steps to reproduce:
+ [rationale]
+ Nautilus (and possibly others) consider all files on a sshfs volume to be 
executable.
+ 
+ [test case]
  mkdir /tmp/etc
  sshfs localhost:/etc /tmp/etc
  nautilus /tmp/etc
  => double click on "adduser.conf"
  
  Nautilus prompts:
  Do you want to run "adduser.conf", or display its contents?
  "adduser.conf" is an executable text file.
  [Run in Terminal] [Display] [Cancel] [Run]
  
  Of course the "adduser.conf" permissions are fine in the file system and
  in the sshfs mount, it's not executable.
+ 
+ [regression potential]
+ The patch was taken from the upstream maling-list by the main developer, so 
it should be safe. Worst case scenario, I'd expect sshfs to fail pretty badly 
which should be discovered quite easily by testing.
