Nice, I'll try to build it somewhere today :)

So I take it directory listing implementation is functional at the moment ? 
If it is, modifying the original smb kioslave to use your libsmbclient code 
instead of Nicolas' libsmb code shouldn't be to hard. Especially since both 
libraries have just reimplemented the standard libc read/write/open 
functions, right ? I am not sure whether you are also planning on writing the 
kioslave, but I don't think a complete rewrite would be necessary.

Hmm, I once used gtk to implement a GUI but it didn't use a tree view, so I 
don't know anything about that :(

I have been trying your libsmbclient code and it seemed to work ok, a few 
things are not completely clear to me... for example : why do you ask for the 
workgroup in your testsmbc.c while you've already defined the workgroup as 
being "sambanet" ? Does the (your) workgroup need to be known in order to use 
the lib ?

Well I'm going to try and do some useful things with your work (I'm on a big 
smb network here), I've actually eagerly been awaiting your library ! One 
more thing, is the directorylisting code stable in the sense that the way it 
handles the entries etc stays this way ? If it does, I can probably start 
using you library now even though it's not completely bugfree.

Thanks,
