Yeah, I've been thinking about that too. What you need is for the xdm (kdm
under KDE) to do something extra with the password the user types in: e.g.
set an environment variable (majorly insecure), or write it to
$HOME/.mypasswd (just insecure ;-). Then you could get /usr/lib/X11/Xsession
to call smbmount with the contents of $HOME/.mypasswd for the password.

[Security be damned! It's a Friday ;-)]
