Comment 14 for bug 95452

same problem in Kubuntu 9.04 as of 4th Aug 2009. There is something wrong with share setting. If you go to properties in Dolphin and click on the sharing button it will sometimes put up the password prompt but not always. Filling in the admin password does not open any further dialogue. Similarly in the Samba entry of Computer settings, clicking on the Samba icon does not reveal and fresh dialogue.
Something works, however, as it is possible to connect to my laptop, which is linked to a wireless router, as I can see shared directories on the laptop. The laptop temporarily runs Win XP. The problem is that I cannot set any directory on the Kubuntu box to shared. This used to be easier with Gnome in previous incarnations.
