[GR]    I have the same problem with GNOME: whenever I try to browse a
Win2K share, I get a "permission denied" thing, even when I run as root.
However, when I run XFce4, I have no such problem with xffm. When I
click on SMB Network, I can browser the Windows shares no problem,
although printing with my Epson Stylus Color 880 is a no go.
