Why I marked this as a paper cut:
This affects every user who access samba shares. As home networks are becoming more common, and sharing files through samba is very common on these, this is affecting many user. Also, many users from Windows are used to access samba shares using "\\hostname" on command prompt (on Vista, this is even in the start menu), so they see this as an annoyance (compared to Windows). As it is a regression, old users also considers this as an annoyance.
It is very easy to address: the fix is in the comments, just adding a gconf schema and it is gone. Even then, it affects both Intrepid and Jaunty. It is also fits in "is small enough for users to become habituated to it", as you can just start nautilus and type in its address bar, but this involves many more actions.
