I find the articles at http://www.open-mag.com are normally quite
pathetic, they place *huge* significance on a small setting (and don't
seem to notice that the same settings are available on every single
distribution they have bothered to test). However, in some ways, that's
how new users think.

For example:

"SUSE has added a "Local Network" icon to the user's desktop that links
to a new network-browsing applet that closely mirrors the behavior of
the "Network Neighborhood"/ "My Network Places" applet found in Windows.
Clicking on the Local Network icon brings up all of the Windows
workgroups and domains discovered on the Network. From there, all of the
systems in any selected workgroup or domain will be listed using the
system's name rather than the system's IP address."

So, when can we add an icon on the desktop for smb:/ in KDE and GNOME by
default, called something like "Local Network" (I have one on my desktop
- - actually called "Windows Network", and it works great).

And, at some stage, it might be nice to be able to enforce such icons on
the desktop for every user ...

Buchan
