cifs is a new samba protocol supply built-in with samba.

however, KDE does not seems to recognize the type cifs as a network file system, it takes forever or crash while is doing fine in command line.

i suppose when a mount type if not found it is considered as local, this is wrong, it should be consider as unknown and try to do as less as possible.

I am actually not sure what is happening, but 
all kde application freeze on cifs browsing.

weirdly it does not work too bad on my co-workers workstation (too bad = only a minute wait)

the only difference we can find between our workstation are that I have the debug flag compil in KDE, not him.
gentoo USE=debug, which i suppose is the equivalent to --enable-debug=full

i'm not sure at this point what other information I can provide.
