No, that's not it. That configuration application only deals with configuring
the smb.conf. What is needed is for you to add yourself to the "sambashare" group.
The users-admin tool in the past could deal with adding users to groups but
things have changed and the current one seems rather deficient, which is why you
need to drop to a terminal to do this.
That said, I think a fresh install should get it right, unless I'm mistaken.
