So actually we have two issues now:

1. AFAIK there is no GUI which can export the home directories
automatically (you have to do it in /etc/samba/smb.conf). With something
like that my problem would be gone. And also I think there's no
application to see a list of all the shared folders (except in
smb.conf). Would that be possible with nautilus-share? Or what package
would be the right one to assign such a bug to?

2. The error message "'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare
add: share name blabliblabla is already a valid system user name" looks
ugly. It could be changed to something more lisible like "There is
already a system user called blabliblabla. Usershares can't have the
same name as system users." If issue no. 1 is solved you could even add
"Home folders can be shared with system->shared folders" or similar.

I could also work on the second one (the first one is still a bit too
high for me).
