>From the bug description, I'm able to reproduce the problem as well following 
>these steps:
- choose Places -> Connect to Server
- choose Service Type: Windows share
- fill in any server name
- leave the share name blank

After hitting enter, a dialog pops up saying "Can't display location
"smb://<address>/ - No application is registered as handling this file"

If, however, I *do* fill in a share name, I'm able to connect without
any problems.

Whatever this problem is, it's specific to the smbbrowse backend, and
does not affect the smb backend; the error message is returned before
any network traffic is even generated.

As a workaround, I would recommend that the customer enter a share name
when trying to connect to the server, since ultimately with the SMB
protocol you need to have a share name as well as a server name to be
able to browse any files.

If this workaround doesn't fix the problem, then I'll probably need more
debugging information to diagnose further.
