This has got to be a dumb question yet it is very much eluding me, so here goes .. I just tried out the Gnome on RC-1 and went to Places->Network Servers, then created a public FTP server. Makes an icon on my desktop, adds one to my Places menu, and it browses the FTP server's directory in Nautilus. All very nice. Now, how do I delete it? RMB->Move to trash is gray'd out. Dragging it to the trash gives an error. Places->Network Servers (which takes a little over 2 minutes to show anything BTW) shows only "Windows Network". "Computer" shows the FTP server icon but also does not permit a "Delete". <help> :(

This has got to be a dumb answer but maybe you have to be superuser to move it to trash? The very prescence of such an option would indicate that such an option is not entirely ruled out for the object in question. Maybe you do not have the rights. What exact error message do you get upon trying to drag to trash?

I get this message when trying to drag to the trash: ========================================= You cannot move the volume "<name>" to the trash. If you want to unmount the volume, please use "Unmount Volume" in the popup menu of the volume. =========================================
FWIW, there is no such menu item. I suppose it is possible it requires root to delete it. That would be odd since it does not require root to create it. I just tried creating another while logged in as a normal user and it too has no delete entry. Looks like these things will just continue to build up forever with no way to get rid of 'em.

Here's a workaround: In Nautilus, press f9 to open the tree view, then right click on the mapped drive and select unmount in the tree and it works. Kirk
