Nautilus and remote servers

[Bryan Pizzuti]

Actually, I'm kind of wondering how flexible Nautilus scripting is....I
might just write mount-unmount scripts to use the mount -t smbfs
commands. Have to figure out how Nautilus passes the object as a
variable though, but I've seen a couple of the scripts that have been
written here, so it might not be too hard.
