Thank you Asensi, but I did that some years ago. However, each time user lost
connection to LAN, KDE freezes trying to get access to the samba mountpoint.
Even if user boot her system without LAN connection, to boot was a infinite
process. So I discarded that solution some years ago  ;)

If it can be useful: I edit the /etc/fstab file, I create a .smbcredentials
file, and from that moment I just use a mountpoint.

Lately it was written an article that may be useful in some cases:

Sorry, I can't try just now the information you wrote about Gwenview possible
local issue. 

I discovered all this problems at work, where we work in a Windows domain with
a lot of Samba shared folders and, moreover, against a lot of remote servers
thru FTP and FISH protocols. It's a pity that we are in 2018 and I can't
recommend seriously Linux desktop environments for professional working on a
LAN/WAN workspace. It's a constant headache (I'm using Linux for 6 years) to
find problems like this that make a simple user to give up if he has not a free
software conviction.

I'll try to "wake up" KioFUSE developers, cause this is a "must" to work in
certain development environments.

Thank you for your very useful information

Gwenview is Qt-based KDE software that *does* use KIO, so you shouldn't see
this issue there. If you do, it's likely a bug in Gwenview or the way your
distro has set up its desktop file (the gwenview executable should be called
with %U, not %F).

Unfortunately there isn't currently a great solution to this issue. As you've
explained, it's simply a different way that KIO and GIO work. KIO would have to
be rewritten or extended to provide the same kind of virtual mounts that GVFS
does.

There was a project to do just this: https://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KioFuse

...But it's been dormant for some time now. The best way to resolve the issue
would be work on completing that project, porting it to QT5, and merging it
back into KIO.
