One issue for me that comes up every-time I help someone with their Linux box is Samba integration into the Desktop. Adding smbfs shares to fstab, or "mount -t smbfs" works great and is crucial to a sysadmin, but I believe that typing smb:// into ANY app must be supported somehow.
KIO works great (not sure what Gnome has got?) but I still feel that the whole samba platform must be a system level affair and not stuck into the windows manager; some apps (most non KDE ones) dont understand smb://, so its useless to them. My statement: Shouldn't Samba be treated like USB devices are treated at present? ie. KDE, Gnome knows almost nothing about a particular USB device, it inits the mounting process to some extent, but when mounted ALL apps can access it. ps. I think FUSE is working towards something like this - whats the current status for integration into SUSE?
