[Bug 67289] SMB network browse failing

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

If I do Places -> Network Servers -> Windows Network, the two workgroups
in use on my LAN appear as 'blank paper' icons, which when doubleclicked
produce an error:

-----------------------------------------------
Couldn't display "smb:///mshome".

The location is not a folder.
                                                OK
-----------------------------------------------

The same is true for the other 'WORKGROUP' workgroup :/

Here's the really odd thing. *SOMETIMES* - maybe one in three attempts,
the icon will change to the proper 'PCs + cabling' icon as soon as I
press OK, at which point I can browse that workgroup.

Often I will simply need to press 'Reload' several times to get the
'real' icon to appear.

The same thing then happens for each server inside the workgroup! :/

This occurs both on the RC edgy CD, and on an installed edgy system with
all updates applied. Edgy was installed as a clean-install - not an
upgrade.

This all used to work OK in dapper :(
