I'd be tempted to consider the lack of this dialog as a major
regression too. Alex, would you accept a patch for this? I guess the
easy way is to have it add a bookmark (and open the URI) for now, and we
can consider the "volume way" later...

Also, we probably need to have a way to convert the old gnome-vfs
volumes to bookmarks, or something like this, to prevent some "data"
loss.
