When I open a local PDF doc via Nautilus or from the desktop, it opens
in Adobe Reader - as it should.

When I open a PDF via Nautilus that happens to be on a Samba share, it
opens in Evince - which is shouldn't.

In both cases, the 'Opens with' tab from Properties is identical and
indicates that Adobe Reader should be used.

Any ideas how this can be fixed?

And what might the more general problem be?

There's another problem:

When right-clicking the and using "Open with..."

1. Open with Adobe Reader is not in the list.
2. Using Open with Other Application and selecting Adobe Reader, Adobe
Reader opens, but the document is not loaded.

For the very same reason: Adobe Reader cannot access Samba shares,
because it doesn't use GNOME-VFS.

Back to KDE again!

How will that solve your problem?
