when connecting to a samba/windows share in a kerberized (Active Directory) environment, in previous releases of gnome, gnomevfs would call libsmbclient using kerberos credentials if available.

If I have a valid ticket, I can call
smbclient -k //server/share
which will connect without prompting for password.

Opening the location smb://server/share in nautilus, will prompt for a password. This also doesn't "fall back" to using existing credentials if the password dialog is dismissed (which is expected, as a valid ticket should be tried first).
