Title:
  "Other Locations" does not automatically find Samba servers in Ubuntu
  18.04

Status in gvfs:
  Confirmed
Status in samba:
  Unknown
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in samba package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Ubuntu: 18.04 clean install
  Nautilus: 1:3.26.3-0ubuntu4

  The actions taken to produce the problem:
  Click on “Other Locations” in Nautilus.

  The expected result of these actions:
  Samba servers to automatically show up under “Networks”. This is the behavior in Ubuntu 17.10 using Nautilus 1:3.26.0-0ub. Also, clicking on “”Windows Network” immediately shows "Folder is Empty".

  The actual result of these actions:
  The Samba servers never show up under “Networks” and clicking on "Windows Network" always immediately comes up with "Folder is Empty".

  Further information:
  This happens on both machines with a clean Ubuntu 18.04 install. My Ubuntu 17.10 machines still work like expected.

  I can still manually type in the Samba information in "Connect to
  Server" and the 18.04 machines connect just fine.
