Bug Description
I have an SMB network, which at the time of this test consists only of two samba servers running Debian sarge and etch.
When I try to browse the `windows network' with the file browser, I have to say `reload' to get my workgroup to stop being a plain document icon which I can do nothing with.
To reproduce: on my network, with a freshly installed edgy 20061024.1 RC:
1. Select Places / Network Servers
2. When the window appears, double click on Windows Network
3. I see a Nautilus window `Windows Network' containing a single icon. The icon is named `relativity' (which is the name of the SMB workgroup) and is a plain-sheet-
4. On the plain icon, right click and ask for properties. I see:
Basic: Name: relativity; Type: desktop configuration file; Size: unknown; Location: smb://; MIME type: application/
Link: URL: smb://relativity/
Close the properties dialogue.
5. Double-click on `relativity'. This yields an error box
Couldn't display "smb://relativity".
The location is not a folder
Dismiss the error.
6. Press reload on the Nautilus window. After one or a few attempts, the icon turns into a network icon, and all is working - I can double click to see the network, etc.

The exactly same thing happens with me.
Nautilus behavior is very strange. I did press F5 key many times. Each time the icons change.
