Title:
  Network browser only shows hostname, not share type / protocol

Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  The network browser in Nautilus will adequately locate the available
  shares on your local network. However, it displays each one with a
  generic "server on the network" icon, along with the hostname that the
  share resides on.  This is problematic if a single host has multiple
  services enabled.

  In the screenshot I have uploaded, you can see my default Network
  view, which shows 4 available shares, all located on the same host
  ("sluice").  By double-clicking on each, I was able to determine that:

  - the first "sluice" is SFTP
  - the second "sluice" is also SFTP. Why is this shown twice?
  - the third "sluice" is FTP
  - the fourth "SLUICE" is SMB, although there are no actual shares available.

  I consider this a moderate to severe usability annoyance that should
  be corrected before the next release.
