You're right. I'm doing the following:

smbCtx = smbc_new_context();
if (smbCtx) {
	smbCtx->callbacks.auth_fn = makePopup::auth_smbc_get_data;
	smbCtx->timeout = 2000; // any effect?
#ifdef HAVE_SMBCCTX_OPTIONS
	smbCtx->options.urlencode_readdir_entries = 1;
#endif
	smbCtx = smbc_init_context(smbCtx);

and it used to work with prior samba versions, but may not be correct.
I use smbc_init_context directly as I needed a pointer to a context so I can 
get the hostname and workgroup with
smbCtx->netbios_name and smbCtx->workgroup.

I don't have a ${HOME}/.smb/smb.conf but in /etc/samba/smb.conf (SUSE) is a 
workgroup = ... entry in [global]
