Mounting a path with GVFS

[Aldrin Martoq <amartoq dcc uchile cl>]

I'm trying to mount a remote FTP folder using GVFS, just for "testing"
purposes.

My problem is that I need to change the name of the folder, because:
- I don't want in nautilus the label "ftp as amartoq on 127.0.0.1:2121"
for ex (I may set the user randomly for example).
- I  want to mount and treat different folders as independent mounts
(say /tmp and /home). So, I want it to say for ex: "HOME on 127.0.0.1
(ftp)" AND "TMP on 127.0.0.1 (ftp)".
- I would like to change the icon ;)


So, I tried gvfs-mount but no luck in changing the mounted folder name.



After a while, I created a "simple" python-dbus client (attached), which
actually works mostly the same as the gvfs-mount program. But it seems
the client cannot set/change the mount name.




Q1. Is there any way to change the label name?

Q2. What about connecting through FTP with the same user, host and
port?? The only parameter I can change in DBUS is something that looks
like a path, but gvfs answer:
"org.glib.GError.g_2Dio_2Derror_2Dquark.c17: Location is already
mounted" if I repeat the command giving another sys.arg[1] for
mountLocation().



Thanks!
