8.1-RELEASE kde-4.5.1 , gnome-2.30 fail as SAMBA clients

[Achilleas Mantzios]

Hello,
i am having constant problem (i haven't managed yet to do it) to
authenticate against a protected non public share on a local samba server.

I can authenticate and browse ok with an old FreeBSD 6.1 with KDE 3.5 but
not with my new 8.1 with the latest KDE or Gnome available.

Once the authentication (username/password) window appears, i give the credentials
and then keeps getting back asking for them again.

The behavior is the same with Gnome, Konqueror, Epiphany, Dolphin, Firefox3.6

On the X stderr, i keep getting entries like:

X Error: BadWindow (invalid Window parameter) 3
  Major opcode: 20 (X_GetProperty)
  Resource id:  0x120001a

i would like to submit a bug, but i am not sure where to.
one thing i might try is to run X without hald, dbus, which IMO at the moment look as buggy as hell, i am just keeping them for the sake of staying "modern",
but the reality is i really dont know.

If any one could help me in the right direction, that would be more than great.
