The original problem also affected linux samba boxes, which do allow
smb1 by default still. You couldn't even see them in nautilus. Now you
can, and you can browse their shares and connect to them.

I agree, and the fix we have here is a step in that direction. But the
whole premise of being able to seamlessly connect to boxes that have
SMB1 disabled is not where this started, and might require more
troubleshooting. Depending on how complicated that is, I just wouldn't
want to prevent users from getting this particular fix while the other
part is being looked at.

That being said, I'll do some experiments with boxes that have SMB1
disabled and perhaps file a new upstream bug with gvfsd. But I think
this very particular bug here in launchpad is fixed with the changes to
samba and gvfsd that exist today.
