Users don't understand why they are not able to open files from remote

GNOME application that it's able to edit a remote file directly.

              gedit ssh://username myhost com/folder/file.txt

      works for me :)

And for me, but I said, "edit" not "open" :-)

Try to modify it.

      But It's true that some GNOME applications (included on the Desktop
release) don't handle remote files correctly (ie: they are not using
gnome-vfs).

      So a good goal for GNOME 2.10 would be to make every application on
the Desktop support correctly (at least for reading) of remote files.

Of course, that will be really good, but I think that we need a way to
"fix" also non GNOME applications. There is life outside GNOME...

Cheers.
