Bug Description

Ubuntu 8.04, Gnome

I create smb share from gnome gui for the first time. I click the right mouse button on a folder, and choose in the right menu - create share, Ubuntu suggests me to install a samba package. After that suggests to enter admin login and password. When samba are installed, I see in dialog window error message, that current user has no access to a folder "/var/lib/samba/usershares"

There is it because I automatically added in new group "smbshares", but I need to relogin, that I really would appear in this group. After finishing session and login - all works fine.

My users consider such behaviour as a mistake in Ubuntu and are very much afflicted :(
