Bug Description
I have kubuntu feisty fawn and ubuntu feisty fawn on two different computers. I first shared a folder with Ubuntu, it automatically installed smb and nfs and the sharing of a directory worked perfectly.
Then I tried in Kubuntu, firstly I had to do a manual install of smb and nfs, is that normal ?, because the sharing application told me smb and/or nfs was missing but no automatic installation like on Ubuntu. Then when I shared a folder I could not access it even though i could see it from both Ubuntu and Kubuntu. Something like this folder cannot be found. I looked at the differences between the smb.conf of Ubuntu and Kubuntu.
Kubuntu :
[name]
path = /home/folderpath
guest ok = yes
read only = no
case sensitive = no
strict locking = no
msdfs proxy = no
Ubuntu :
[name]
path = /home/folderpath
available = yes
browsable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes
So I deleted all the options of the smb.conf of kubuntu and wrote the ones found in Ubuntu.
Why is there such a difference, especially when it doesn't work out of the box with kubuntu ?

Exact same problem on Xubuntu. File sharing via samba works great from Ubuntu, but fails from a Xubuntu server.
I can see the shared folder on the network from ubuntu machines, but attempts to access yield only "The folder contents could not be displayed"
If I share via NFS, it works, but since Ubuntu doesn't support NFS auto-discovery, that's not much consolation.
I even tried copying the smb.conf from the ubuntu box to the xubuntu box - same error.
