No, I was referring to gnome-vfs support in OOo, so that you don't have
to mount CIFS shares on the filesystem at all. Hopefully, mounting CIFS
shares will be the kind of thing a sysadmin does because it's required
for a particular environment -> in the usual case, gnome-vfs access
should be available.
