Announce: KDE User Manager does smbpasswd.

[Heiko Nardmann]

You don't need to run KDE to start this program.
All you need is the KDE libraries installed and somewhere in the library
path.
This seems to be a common misconception that KDE has to be run to
start KDE programs.
I think the same is true for Gnome.
