So here in kfileplacesitem we would replace description() by displayName().

  Its already there:
  
    grep x-gvfs-name  /etc/fstab 
    //pebbles/share /mnt cifs defaults,x-gvfs-show,x-gvfs-icon=yast-samba-server,x-gvfs-name=SambaShare
  
    solid-hardware5  details /org/kde/fstab///pebbles/share
    udi = '/org/kde/fstab///pebbles/share'
      parent = '/org/kde/fstab'  (string)
      vendor = 'pebbles'  (string)
      product = 'share'  (string)
      description = 'SambaShare'  (string)
      icon = 'yast-samba-server'  (string)
      StorageAccess.accessible = false  (bool)
      StorageAccess.filePath = '/mnt'  (string)
      StorageAccess.ignored = false  (bool)
      NetworkShare.type = 'Cifs'  (0x2)  (enum)
      NetworkShare.url = 'smb://pebbles/share'  (string)
