Comment 29 for bug 273294

None of the workarounds work on Jaunty
- terminal: gnomevfs-ls smb://lin01/public/music/all
- entering a ~/.gvfs path in rhythmbox preferences (this is immediately translated by the gui into smb://<server>/<share>
- removing /usr/lib/gstreamer-0.10/libgstgnomevfs.so (and rebooting)

I tried also:
- entering a ~/.gvfs path in gconf-editor
- make a connection through ssh via gvfs

In Karmic this is also not working (tried all workaround as on Jaunty). I noticed that the file libgstgnomevfs.so is indeed not installed (as indicated by Sebastian), but nevertheless, no go.

It seems like RB doesn't 'understand' gvfs, in contrast to Totem, etc. and this bug is not fixed.
