FC2 wish: samba browser

You're right gnome-vfs can be a bit of a pain, as it does not support
mounting.

The reason why Nautilus requires username/password everytime you access
a samba share is that you have different uid's on you server and
desktop. 

I spend some time on this a couple of months (slightly less hair now),
and it seams that gnome-vfs-extras (which include the smb method), does
not setup a correct session (which is required), and after sometime I
found that if I have the same uid (helped by using ldap) for my user(s)
on all my PC's the problem disappeared.

I haven't gotten around to write a bug against gnome-vfs-extras, but I
think someone should.

I would think so.
