Gtk SMB Client

[Christopher R. Hertel]

Sounds like an interesting project, and I know that this kind of thing 
has been talked about before.

One question:  What do you do when someone clicks on a service in the 
browse list?  Do you launch smbclient or mount it with smbfs?  Smbfs is 
for Linux only, which is why I ask.  You could open a shell with 
smbclient or smbsh.

Just curious.
