Enabling Network locations by default in File Chooser

[Timothy Arceri <t_arceri yahoo com au>]

Hi Guys,
             I'm after feedback on whether you guys think this is a good idea. For background I have been investigating bug https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=586367

Basically what I've found is that gtk_file_chooser_set_local_only() is set to TRUE by default. This makes sense if file_chooser is returning uri that points directly to the network locations e.g. smb:///blah, afp://blah, etc as you can't be sure that the application can handle these protocols. I'm assuming that these uri's are what was returnedback with gnome-vfs.
However, my testing shows that with gvfs file_chooser returns local locations (that I believe are FUSE mounted) to the network locations meaning that the applications are always given a local location and should have no problem with handling the location. Hence I would assume it would be safe to set local only to FALSE by default. 


I guess what I'm after is the GLIB/gvfs guys to tell me if I'm missing something here? And whether this is a good idea or not.

Thanks for your time,
Tim
