We should! I have suggested this to Laurent already, but no response :-(. > I can imagine now the review ( access my windows share was > just a matter of a single click as there was a network .... ) > > Note : If we put this icon in ~/Desktop, gnome would have to ignore it. The problem here is no support for multi-protocol browsing in GNOME, and KDE not working well with the smb:// url GNOME-vfs uses under certain conditions (sub-categories in the KDE LAN browser could help with this). In the meantime, maybe an icon with url of "smb:/" which should work in KDE and GNOME? lan:/ works better in KDE in some respects (giving non-samba/windows hosts too), but for now maybe smb:/ is good enough. Note, KDE doesn't like smb:// (it converts it to http://smb. Also, there seem to be some bugs when using smb:/<WORKGROUP NAME> (smb://<WORKGROUP NAME> doesn't work, neither does smb:/<workgroup name>) in KDE, whereas smb://<machine-name> works fine. > I will fill a bug report ... I think after my experiments now, I need to file some more, but there may be complications due to using smbclient instead of libsmbclient support, which I can't investigate now (will have to rebuild samba3, then rebuild kdebase to test this, and I don't have the time now ...). I will mail another report shortly, but it seems safe for now that we can use an icon with "smb:/" as url. Fred, Laurent?
