I believe I've found a workaround. (More like a fix if you are experiencing this problem)
Open synaptic and mark gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backend for complete removal. While you're at it you could do the same to samba-packages (remember that this will remove your smb.conf).
Reboot your system (tried without reboot, which didn't work)
Do a fresh install of gnome-system-tools and system-tools-backend (and samba-packages too, if you removed them)
Close Synaptic.
Open shares-admin.
However, it still seems highly unstable, I am in the process of doing this whole thing once more right now.
I'm guessing package system-tools-backends is the culprit.

*Please* fix this before Dapper!
