Bug#561272: gnome-terminal open ftp:// url fails "not mounted"

[Joey Hess]

Package: gvfs
Version: 1.4.1-6
Severity: normal

If I right-click on a ftp:// url in gnome-terminal and select "open
url", I get an error "Could not open the address <url>
The specified location is not mounted."

Expectation: That it would behave like a http:// url and show in the
browser. I think that most users would expect that, especially if the
ftp url is for anonymous ftp.

(I am only guessing gvfs is at fault.)
