Maybe we can hook into the GTK+ bookmark system and use trailingname
from file://somepath/trailingname as bookmark name as GTK+ does. For
remote stuff, it should be "trailingname on host" where the bookmark
location is ftp://username:pass location:21/pub/trailingname.
This would make FileChooser and Nautilus consistent when it comes to
bookmarks :).
