I don't know why the application closes, but I find the smb://pc/share
addressing system will only let you open files with some applications,
most don't understand the scheme.  You'll have more luck if you mount
the share onto the local file system.  Nautilus doesn't act as a
go-between, providing access to the file to the application.
