connecting to samba share - appears to mount, icon appears on desktop, then disappears and redirected to home folder.

Binary package hint: gvfs

I tried to connect to a non password-protected Samba share (on a cheap network storage drive). Appeared to be OK - shared folders appeared in Nautilus - but on trying to access one of the shared folders, the icon on the desktop disappeared, then Nautilus redirected to my home folder... Strange.
