GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 337088
Right-click context menu "Connect To This Server" doesn't set SMB icon when connecting to SMB share.

That bug has been opened on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/37830 "To duplicate, open nautilus. Browse to a server using Samba. i.e. smb://my-windows-server. Lets say that server has two shares, share-a and share-b. If I click on the "Places->Connect To Server.." option from the main Gnome menu. Then enter the information to connect to share-a and click connect. An icon will be added to the desktop for share-a. The icon will be the icon for SMB network shares. It has a nice little "SMB" block below the folder to indicate the network share type. However, from the nautilus window opened previously, I right click on share-b and select "Connect To This Server". An icon will be created on the desktop for share-b, but it will be an icon for a network share. It should be the same icon for the SMB network share."
Could you please review it again?
especially interesting to see whether this still happens in the 2.21 rewrite
the new nautilus does automatically mounting when browsing, the issue is deprecated now
