Well for the time being we can open a task against samba, which is where the
`net' command comes from.

Title:
  Can't determine shared folders

Bug description:
  If I restart my machine after I shared a folder the "shared" icon is
  missing and the context-menu share-option is turned off as if the
  folder isn't shared anymore. If I access the folder from another
  computer over the network the folder is still shared. So I can't
  determine from within the system which folders are shared and can't
  really unshare them.

  Workaround: Look which folders are shared from another computer/vm,
  share them again and deselect sharing without rebooting.

  [edit]

  The bug occurs when the result of the command "net usershare info" ends with an error message, which is caused e.g. by deleting (or moving/renaming) a shared folder, which name goes last in the alphabet in relation to other shared folders. (exception seems to be shares that begin with the letter "a". Shares that begin with "a" are always listed last)
  This is because the share definition in /var/lib/samba/usershares will not be removed after deleting a shared folder.
  The bug can be fixed if the (alphabetically last) obsolent share definition is deleted.

  This Bug affects all Distributions using gnome (testet on Ubuntu 10.04 and
  Ubuntu 12.04 beta-2 as well as  the current Debian stable release.)
