Well, at the end I can see several thing:
- The issue is in Intrepid, too.
- Your last comment obviously explain the root of the problem, and why
Hardy behaves different than Intrepid & Jaunty.
- Both Synaptic and Software Sources uses gksu by default. Maybe they
need to migrate to PolicyKit or
you seem to really be focussing on that, stop using sudo to run
graphical softwares? anyway hardy was using the libgnomeui fileselector
backend and gvfs was new, since the gtkfileselector has been rewritten
in gtk to use gio directly

I've tried the following:
1. In one terminal window, I do: $ sudo /usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd
Now I can see a gvfsd daemon running as root user:
$ ps aux | grep gvfsd$
ricardo 6513 0.0 0.2 6832 2200 ?S18:53 0:00
/usr/lib/gvfs/gvfsd
root 7972 0.0 0.2 6700 210
For your reference, this is how Hardy looks in my laptop when I select
Software Sources->Authentication->Import Key File. The device names are
all "humanized".

not sure how hardy works but gvfs is supposed to provide those
informations and is not running, as said those applications should not
run using sudo which is the bug no need to have an another one

Thanks for the reply. May I change the affected package from Nautilus to
libgtk1.2, synaptic or something similar? Or may I need to open a new
bugreport? Software Sources and Synaptic uses gksu in order to do admin
tasks (in Hardy too, and Hardy does not have the issue). Thanks again.

Nautilus
the screenshot shows a gtk fileselector which has nothing to do with
nautilus, as said the issue is that gvfs is not running for that user
and the way is to no use sudo to run graphical tools, there is probably
bugs about that on those softwares

Sorry, maybe I have not explain it well. The issue can be reproduced
using any admin tool which needs to use the file dialog.
Examples:
- System->Administration->Software Sources, Authentication tab, and
click on "Import Key File..." button. A file dialog appears, with device
names in the Places
dunno about those what you described is a nautilus bug, synaptic doesn't
list devices

You received this bug notification b
Sebastien, what about the Software Souces use case? That tool is started
using gksu. The same problem can also be found in Synaptic, for
instance. All the admin tools which needs to save/load any file could
have the same issue. And the issue is not in Hardy, so it could be
considered a regression.
thank you for your bug report, that's because you don't have a normal
session and the gvfs server running, that's not a bug, running graphical
applications under sudo is not recommended and that will not be worked
