Bug 134723

Version:           3.4.3 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

Samba share URLs should be followed just as a Directory is followed, or as a second drive is mounted into the first -- transparently.

At work I have a number of network shares, etc.  I can access them all in my Konqueror, and have since linked them onto the desktop and renamed their rediculous URL "names" to something more appropriate for my memory (below is an example of a home directory on the "x drive".  Yeah, windows-naming-convention, i know, but that itself isn't the bug ;)

When I click on one of these, the file share opens in Konqueror, just like I was opening a directory.  But if I try to open one of these URL/links in Kaffeine or OpenOffice.org.... well, in Kaffeine they just don't appear at all (its not a media file I suppose), and OpenOffice.org opens the link as a text file itself, displaying the following:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=samba
Name=x: jfoobarski
Name[en_US]=x: jfoobarski
Type=Link
URL=smb://alpha.tango/home/jfoobarski/

I tried adding these as a constant "entry" on the left side of an open dialogue, but they disappear when i close and re-open the window.  I understand that they may not always be present, but maybe they can be polled/pinged before displaying the dialogue, and have them available if they're available for use?  Thanks!
