Windows shares browsing with Nautilus - Will not work as normal user?

[Chris Turner]

Pizbit,

Thanks for the info on the gnome-vfs bug.
I'll hang in there till it gets fixed with a future patch hopefully.
Looks like I was worrying about nothing after all with the keyring.
Nice to discount that as cause of my problem.

Appreciated,

Chris
