Dear Maintainer,

hi, I'm under the impression that this issue also appeared with Leafpad,
but I'm not sure. Maybe it's a PCManFM issue, but it doesn't happens,
for instance, with AbiWord, so, I'm reporting it.

   * What led up to the situation?

In PCManFM you can mount a remote computer directly, for instance,
writing in the address-bar: `ssh://remote-user@remote-machine-IP:mount-point`
(in a SSH-configured machine, of course).
Once done that, you can navigate folders and create/delete/open/edit files
remotely normally.

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

If I create a remote plain-text file and open-edit-save it, for instance,
with AbiWord, the behaviour is as expected.
If I open the remote file with Mousepad it opens an empty file.
Seems like Mousepad doesn't have access to the remote file?

   * What was the outcome of this action?

Opening a remote plain-text file results in an empty file being showed.
Can't save in remote location from Mousepad.

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

Normal behaviour. Open, edit, save remote text file in/from Mousepad.

Thank a lot in advance!
