Description
g_mount_source_ask_question() will silently fail if mount_operation is NULL.
When launching gvfsd-afc by hand from jhbuild, g_mount_source_ask_question() will fail without even trying to contact gnome-shell, expecting 1) gvfsd to be running (probably from the same build directory) 2) "gio mount..." to be run to start the gfvsd-afc backend.
This causes two problems:
- it makes it difficult to run backends with debugging enabled
- g_mount_source_ask_question() fails without any error message, and without advising the developer what to do.
I wasted a whole afternoon trying to figure out why this silently failed...
