"Binary package hint: nautilus

No application is registered as handling this file.

gvfs-1.3.3-smb-browse-fake-content-type.patch

This simple patch should fix the issues - the run dialog and standalone nautilus-connect-server. Basically we only fake inode/directory content type here so default file manager would be spawned. While this might be dangerous, I don't think it will cause any issues.

Pushed to master (8056474d0334e9f37b31dc885c082b6cac090d72) and gnome-2-26 (acdfad0b0bebba6f86a68bbf4c18d5b02a6dcae1).
