File Open dialog does not show mounted servers under Ubuntu

[bnilsson]

Ok, I would think this feature is pretty darn basic...

However this is a real bonafide show-stopper for my application.
Any hints on how I can gather information on how I should proceed?

I would invite other readers to respond too, if possible.

So is your "connected server" in the list of mounted filesystems or not?

[bnilsson]

The line from 'mount'
gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/bnilsson/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=bnilsson)
is related.

/home/bnilsson/.gvfs contains an item with the same name as the folder symbol on my desktop.
For a windows share on the server mc2-p007 it is called: bnilsson on mc2-p007
For a ssh mount on the server mc2-p007 it is called: sftp for bnilsson on mc2-p007

So it's not mounted thus it gets mounted once you actually first access it or it's only accessible from gnome's file dialogs. If you run a file dialog from your Qt apps, do you get the standard gtk file dialog as for other apps on your system or do you get a custom Qt-based dialog?

As far as I can tell it is native. It looks the same as in other Ubuntu apps with an Open File menu the except that in the left column for "Places" there is nothing inbetween "File system" and "Floppy drive", where my "server" symbol is placed in the other apps.
Maybe this information is meningless for you since you don't run Ubuntu, but this is what I see.

Trust me, the fact that you are using Ubuntu has nothing to do with this. I can install Gnome with gvfs on my Mandriva and have a similar behaviour. If the dialog doesn't contain the "places" part then either Qt does it on purpose because of some reason or there is a Gnome-originated reason for not showing the places container.

I want to point out that the "Places " section is NOT missing from the File Dialog, it is only the "server" item in the "Places" list that is not there.

Whatever...
