Hmhm, something puzzles me. Is it different from typing
“ftp://ftp.example.org” in a GIO/GVFS enabled file manager? Or is it
just about storing the bookmarks?

And, when you say “connect/mount”, isn't GIO/GVFS supposed to avoid
mounting stuff, and enables you to transparently connect from your file
manager? Or does it enable non-GIO/GVFS enabled files managers to use
those shares?

In that case, it sure would be nice, but it doesn't seem to work here.
If I mount a ssh share in sion, it appears mounted in sion, but not in
“mount” output. And trying to open it from sion gives this in Thunar:

Thunar: Failed to open "sftp://example.org/": The URI
"sftp://example.org/" is invalid.

What should I do for sion to be useful on my Xfce install?

Cheers,
