Nautilus can't open files from passworded SMB shares using KDE apps

[Joseph Garvin]

Binary package hint: nautilus

To reproduce:
1. sudo aptitude install kwrite
2. Browse to an SMB share that's password protected
3. Right click a text file stored on the SMB share
4. Choose Open With -> Kwrite

KWrite will give you an access denied error. I believe the problem is that although Nautilus knows the users' password for the SMB share, this only gets to communicated to gnome apps. A possible solution would be having nautilus include the username/pass to use in the url, e.g. smb://jake:jakespass@myshare/jakesfolder/.

kwrite could ask the password or use the gnome keyring, reassigning
