UI Mockup for Gnome 3.XX "Share" section of System Settings

Hello everybody. 

I don't know if it's good, but I have make a UI mockup for the Share
section of System Settings for Gnome 3.XX.

It's just a first idea and it probably need more work.

Link to mockup: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=636206

Link to "System Settings" design wiki for Gnome 3.XX:

What do you think?

I forget the explanation. XD

- In the left list you add folders that you want share.
- Options, on the right, are specific to the folder selected on the
liste (like
in Account Settings of Empathy).
- You can enable/disable sharing of each folder add to the list.
- You can specify "automatically enabled only when you are on a specific
place"
(like home, work, etc...). For this, just check the line "Enable only at
home".
The option button show a pop-up window to select "Where to auto-activate
the
sharing". You can select some places.¹
- Click to "home" or "places" words to open the "Place Settings".¹
- "Disable All" is for disable all sharing.¹
- "Files sharing" option enable the simple file sharing like in
present-day
Gnome-User-Share. With "Options" button you can specify general options
(read
only or read/write, password, etc). With "Advanced" button you can
specify what
protocole using (WebDav, SMB, etc) and specific options of each
protocoles.
"Options" and "Advanced" button show a Pop-up window.¹
- "Multimedia Sharing" option enable the "Media Sharing" (DLNA, DAAP,
etc).
"Options" button is to specfy general option (auto-encode, read only,
etc...).
"Advanced" button is to specify what protocole using (Daap, DLNA, Dacp,

I upload the version 2 on the bugzilla (the same bug).

What change?:
- On the list, you can see the name and the location of each folder. You have a
littre circle to inform if the sharing is enable or not for each folder. Green
== Enable. Red == Disable. Need a third color for "Enabled with condition"?
- Simplification of the conditional enabling. You can now specify a place
without auto-enabled at home. 
- "Disable All" are moved.
- "Advanced" button move to their respective "Options" pop-up.

I'm no UX expert, and I'd really like to get the take of an Allan Day, 
mpt, the Calums or Andreas on the details, but I do have some comments 
on the mock-up (which are similar to some of the comments Wouter had in 
Bugzilla):

I *really* like that sharing files & browsing other people's file shares 
is just integrated into Nautilus - that's where it should be, for the 
most part, and not in system settings. I also like that the interface 
for sharing is right click->Share this folder, and the interface for 
finding other shares on the intranet is "Network places" in Nautilus. 
SMB is a de facto standard now.

For anything which (a) requires manual sharing because it's a 
non-default protocol or (b) requires manual mounting, it also seems like 
Nautilus is the best place for this to happen. I'm not sure exactly what
