With the inclusion of the option to view Network Shares on the desktop
(Settings Manager -> Desktop -> Icons) unfortunately, network shares do
not show up on the desktop regardless of whether they are mounted
through thunar, gigolo, or manually (mount or autofs).

The GIO API docs say: "The GVolume interface represents user-visible
objects that can be mounted." These shares that don't show up, can you
mount/unmount them as a user?

Showing all the network shares will require a rewrite of this feature
since GIO doesn't expose all the network shares as a GVolume.

On my system (Xubuntu 14.04), mount/autofs require root privileges.
Gigolo uses GIO/GVfs, so yes, they can be mounted by user. I believe
thunar also uses gvfs.

Manually mounting using gvfs-mount (userspace) also does not show icon
on the desktop.

Under which conditions would a network share show up on the desktop?
