Bug description
When I disconnect my network, nemo doesn't open. runing strace nemo it's obvious that nemo is trying to read the contents of the bookmarked folder:
access("/mnt/network-volume/bookmarked-folder", F_OK
where /mnt/network-volume is my cifs share and bookmarked-folder is bookmarked (ctrl-D) in nemo. When I remove the bookmark nemo works fine.
Steps to reproduce
Create a bookmark of a subfolder of a SMB/cifs network share, run strace nemo and watch it hang.
Expected behavior
Nemo should not hang when a network share is disconnected
Additional information
When the bookmark is the actual network share, nemo doesn't freeze. The freeze only occurs when the bookmark is a subfolder.

Research direction
Reproduce the freeze by disconnecting an SMB/CIFS share containing a bookmarked subfolder, then start nemo under strace and inspect the bookmark-related startup path around the reported access call. Done means nemo opens without hanging when the share is unavailable, while the bookmark remains usable when the share is connected.
