I know it, but it is not the same from the user perspective. AFAIK, it
was only developed to test Avahi.
To start a remote session don't seems like a task for nautilus.

I agree. I'm fairly sure that Alex will reject this. In fact,
there was something similar in the past regarding avahi.
The problem is that we need to find some other way to show services
that aren't disk/file related. Essentially, people want nautilus
to be a presentation manager (eg how it presents data to the user)
to borrow an OS/2 term. (at least I think it was OS/2 that called it that)
From user perspective, it is natural to search in the network folder
to get a connection to other computers, even if it is more
service-orientated as file-based.
And I thought that especially in the Unix world exist the paradigm
that everything is a file. My idea was that these services can be
represented as a special file in the network folder with an own
mime-type like application/x-vnc . And the programs tsclient or
gnome-rdp are registered for this mime-type.
That would be more Zen ;-) It can't be more simple than open the
network folder and click on the computer XY to open a vnc session.
But we don't have that. Ideas? We should probably start a thread
somewhere to deal with this. I don't think nautilus-list is the
best place for it.
Hmm, maybe.
