Well it should do those things. I know that the shared folders does
work. For example, we tested it in Fedora:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_Active_Directory_gvfs

That said, there are a number of bugs that we need to work through to
make those things be truly seamless. The underlying support is there,
but it needs a bit of polish. Worth filing bugs for the issues
encountered. I'd be happy to be CC'd on those bugs, and take a look as
time permits.

Cheers,
