Mousepad does not open files over gvfs

I'm assuming gvfs is what Thunar uses when I go to a url like sftp://user@123.123.123.123/some/path. Thunar seems able to browse sftp locations with gvfs, gvfs-backends, gvfs-common, gvfs-daemons and gvfs-libs installed but double clicking files to open with Mousepad will simply open an empty document called Untitled 1 as if I just opened the application without any arguments. Trying to open files with Mousepad from the terminal like so:

mousepad "sftp://user@123.123.123.123/some/path/filename.txt"

will give:

Invalid URI: "sftp://user@123.123.123.123/some/path/filename.txt"

I saw somewhere else on the internet that I should install gvfs-fuse as well but it didn't seem to make any difference.

Any ideas please? :-/
