If only. I was working on the smb authentication. All I did was get 
gnome-vfs to use the values passed or call the get_user_password() 
function if it didn't have one yet.

I don't know how gnome-vfs sets up the directory contents. I didn't even 
know nautilus used gnome-vfs (or is it vfs2, vfs-extras, or 
vfs2-extras?) to decide what to show :)

But, if it's in gnome-vfs(2) I'll have a go at it.

Alex, Havoc, is there a Red Hat bug for this? What about a GNOME bug?
Do you know of anyone already "working" on this?
