I do not think it is the case, Tim, as the reported problem occurs
even when the virtual machine is started long after the F7 reboot. On
the other hand, when I run system-config-samba, I see that the shared
directory is not set as visible; I only need to set it as visible to
have the sharing process running fine. But I have to do that after
each reboot.
