I have SMB mounts with Gnome & FC3. I think that to have them
automatically mounted, you need to mount them through /etc/fstab. If you
mount them using the cifs type instead of the smbfs, i noticed that you
need to have the "user" option put in order for gnome to automount.
Here is an example of my SMB mount in fstab:
//192.168.0.4/bg   /mnt/serveur   smbfs
rw,uid=bgirin,credentials=/etc/samba/pwd_bg  0 0
