Dear Maintainers,

I have a Samba server providing shares (some require credentials, some
anonymous). I have two Bullseye desktop, one running Gnome from which I
send this bug report, another running Cinnamon. I use Nemo on both
computers.

Mounting is done with Nemo via GIO/GVFS and works perfectly. However, if
I unmount the share, and then remount it, issue arise: when I click on
the share name in Nemo's left pane, a popup window appear saying:

1. On the Gnome desktop: "Could not display
"smb://my-server.local/my-share/". The location is not a folder."

2. On the Cinnamon desktop (translated from French): "Unknown file type.
No program is associated to file "smb://my-server.local/my-share". Use
Open dialog to choose a program to open it." Here I can click on "Choose
a program" and select Nemo to open it, but then I face the popup 1.

A simple fix on both desktops is to kill Nemo (just closing the window
is not enough) and then restart it. A simple .desktop file in the right
place does the job for non technical users.

I have no idea if bug is still present in testing/sid or upstream and
have no time to test it for the moment, sorry.

Thanks for your time and work,
Yvan
