Hmmm.  That should work fine for accessing and writing files on the
server.  It may be that when you mounted the remote filesystem linux
just made everything in the mount owned by root.  Try doing an ls -l on
the /mnt/ntshare directory and see who owns it and what permissions are
on the files and directories.

If they are owned by root then you either have to be root, or you have
to give the mount command a special argument saying that all of the
files should be owned by a particular user on your linux system.  I
think to do the latter (which has a few security tradeoffs IIRC) you can
specify some arguments to mount specifying a user, or you can use the
smbmount program to do it.  I can't find the options for doing it with
mount, but for smbmount it should be documented in the man page for the
program.

The /etc/fstab file says where to load disks and remote filesystems into
your directory tree.  I don't know the exact syntax but googling for
"samba /etc/fstab" or something similar should get you much closer to
accurate information on that.

Alas, I'm not a KDE user.  And I'm only a gnome user in the loosest
sense of the term "gnome user."
