[Bug 50264] "Samba Shares" is likely to mean nothing to new user

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kdenetwork

If I launch Konqueror and select Network Folders, one of the options I'm
given is "Samba Shares".

It's difficult to imagine a user who has just installed Kubuntu onto
their Windows box being able to make the mental leap from "Samba Shares"
to "Other Windows boxes on my network".

A better name would be "Windows Shares (using Samba)" (you can cut out
the last two words if needed; credit can always be given on the
following page, along with an examplanation that SMB isn't just a
Windows protocol on the remote off-chance that anyone cares).
