Nautilus has the ability to do something similar by allowing soft ssh (sftp) mounts, but I haven't traced the black magic involved (presumably somewhere in the VFS/GVFS) and only catch it being too smart for its own good: When using the feature to get to documents on a machine that's only available by IPv6, it seems to pass a *link* when invoking OpenOffice.org, and OO.o apparently has logic of its own for dealing with such things -- which doesn't yet work with IPv6. Oops. I also used Netgraph for some simple bridging a few years ago and don't remember it being particularly onerous, if that counts for anything. IIRC it had recently become "the" way to do such with FreeBSD at the time. Interesting pointer about kio_fish.
