Hi all,

this has already been reported on
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gvfs/issues/421. I can confirm that
there isn't any configuration option for it at this time. Probably the
only way to work around this is to use symlinks. If you have problems
only with a colon, then we can probably do something with this, but
the upstream issue says that there are more problematic characters and
there isn't any easy way how to replace them all. The names need to be
unique and it has to be possible to reconstruct the GMountSpec objects
from them...
