Can't load images from remote directory

Hi all,

I've been trying to drag and drop image stacks from a Windows share
(Samba) straight into ImageJ.  This works fine in Win XP, but fails in
Ubuntu.  ImageJ complains:

File not found:
/home/mdoube/smb:/my_shared_computer.ic.ac.uk/mysharename/path/to/imagedirectory/

In Ubuntu, shares are mounted in the user's home directory under .gvfs/
as, for example, ~/.gvfs/mysharename on my_shared_computer.ic.ac.uk/

Is this a bug in IJ, in the JRE or in Ubuntu / GNOME?

Mike
