 Free,

 I think I've solved the GUI part of the problem and hopefully the ticket
 can be closed.

 The second part of the problem was a failure of nautilus-connect-server to
 connect to a remote samba system.  This seems to be the problem reported
 by Dennis in this ticket, and also seems to be the same as one reported by
 Mick on the user forum.

 The problem, I think, is another missing package (and whatever extra
 packages it is dependent on).

 This missing one is '''libgnomevfs2-extra''' + dependencies (I got mine
 from Etch).

 After apt-getting libgnomevfs2-extra, I am able to browse a remote windows
 share from gnome / places / connect to server ... dialog.

 For me, I only enter the IP address, share name and "name to use".  After
 doing this, I get a new network folder on the desktop and can see the
 remote files.

 Also, in the nautilus-connect-server, I can select "browse network", and
 see all windows / samba boxes on my local network (including the samba
 share on the host machine!), and I can drill down and see their shares.

 For information, I tried adding vfs2-extra yesterday while testing, but it
 did not make any difference.  Looking back, I think this was because smbfs
 was also missing but I did not realise this at the time, so for me there
 were two problems to be solved here.

 hope this helps
 Steve~
