I don't normally use konqueror, and it apparently doesn't work very well with 
FF3b2.  It wants me to download 'coyote.den', into an editor, which then 
dislays:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Name=coyote.den
Type=Link
URL=smb://coyote.den/
Icon=gnome-fs-network

Not terribly useful.

ISTR at one point while trying everything on the menu's, it did open konqueror 
and allowed me to browse the shares, but the name of the menu item didn't by 
any means intuitively tell me that is what it was going to do.

Thanks for the tip, I appreciate it.
