Remote shortcuts are watched, so automounter cannot unmount them

In our infrastructure we have a lot of (NFS) network shares, which are auto-mounted (autofs). When users have a shortcut on that file, it’s always re-mounted by Thunar after it’s unmounted because it’s unused and expired.

We work around it, by just excluding the code, but would like to have a more maintainable solution.

Have you an idea, how to properly fix this. Could it be checked, if it’s a remote mount, and such things not monitored? (Or a build or run-time configuration option be introduced?) What do you think?
