Removing things from Ubuntu's "Places" menu
When I was editting some files on a server through a ssh connection I added the dir I was working in to the "save as" side bar. This directory turned up in Ubuntu Hoary's new "Places" menu as well, and after that secretly drove me crazy. Everytime I logged in, everytime Nautilus started, it asked me to log in to the server. I couldn't figure out for a while what was causing it, until I saw that directory there. Then I couldn't figure out how to remove it from the "Places" menu. It was no longer in my "save" dialog. After googling for some time I found it was the .gtk_bookmarks file in my home dir that contained this info (and only that one, not the "Home" and the server connections and such). I removed the line, saved the file (gnome panel crashed) and voila, no more password buggings!

Very similar issue a year or so later...
I ran into a very similar issue with a recent version of Ubuntu. I noticted my settings were being stored in .nautilus in the form of XML files. Through Nautilus I was not able to edit the previously created network places or removed. I believe this was being caused by the fact that the I did not have the appopriate permission to edit the files in the directory listed above. You can edit the files directly or do a quick chmod (i.e. chmod 700) in that directory and after you reopen Nautilus you can edit or delete servers in the places area. This worked for me at least.
