Bug Description

Binary package hint: chromium-browser

When I do a file operation (Open, etc.), I can see no bookmark entries ('Places') for remote locations (FTP, SMP, etc.) in the file dialog. Also, the (gvfs-) connected servers are also not shown on the left in this dialog.

This problems happens with a lot of applications, so maybe it's better to solve this in the GNOME-framework, by showing the Places entries by default.

This is unlikely to happen from the chromium side.

Most file handling code is written with cross-platform classes and I don't know how I'd go about making it aware of a VFS. A (very quick) glance over the gio interface makes me doubt we'll ever support it.

Theoretically, if the gnome vfs switched to a fuse filesystem based backend, everything Should Just Work since chromium would be receiving real paths on the filesystem, but there's probably a bunch of details there that I'm not thinking about.
