A remote drive is called X.
A subdirectory on X is named the "local folders" directory.
The local-folders-directory cannot be changed in the account manager.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. create an account with the profile dir on an remote drive (like \\server\etc)
2. open account manager for local folders
3. try to change the local-folders-directory-path!
4. neither Browse nor direct entry will work
Actual Results:  
nothing

Expected Results:  
It should accept a new path

The remote drive is operated on a Linux box (samba).
Haven't tried other servers.
