Bug Description

Ubuntu Netbook Remix, Karmic
netbook-launcher-2.1.12-0ubuntu3

I have an entry in ~/.gtk-bookmarks that looks like this:

sftp://malept@desktop/ desktop

When I attempt to access this bookmark via "Files & Folders" (without first mounting it via whatever mechanism), the "Opening... desktop" splash screen is shown for a few seconds, then disappears. Neither a password dialog nor a nautilus window appears.

Since I don't have the password in my keyring, I expect the gvfs/nautilus/whatever password dialog to appear, prompting me for my password.

If I mount the bookmark via nautilus first, launching the bookmark via netbook-launcher works as expected.

Note: this may sound similar to bug #278286, but I believe that is a bug with the SFTP bookmark not working, regardless of whether one has mounted the SFTP URL or not.

Thanks for reporting this bug and helping make Ubuntu better.
I can confirm this issue. The current workaround as you stated it until we find a better solution is to open nautilus and use it for that.
