Re-reading what you said I'd definitely want to change the default behavior
of ssh://
as I expect it to be ssh://[username[:password]@]host[:port] format as
described elsewhere on the net. Not at all like a file path.
I don't want gvfs touching it.
That is likely what it is doing is trying to give it to gvfs it would make
sense of the error messages but not at all what I want ssh:// doing.
