Title:
  smb:// Desktop Icons fail to open with "This file is of an unknown
  type" error

Status in GVFS:
  Unknown
Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gvfs

  (Ubuntu 9.10)
  I opened Nautilus, entered a share address like "smb://nas/music".
  Once the files showed up, a desktop icon appeared for the share.
  Some hours later, I clicked on the desktop icon and got this error:

  Could not display "smb://nas/music".
  The file is of an unknown type.

  If I open up Nautilus, then click on the share in the left pane, it
  will load the share, and then the Desktop icon will work again.
