After you type the smb user to use in the mcs-manager, make sure you
press <return> so that changes take effect. You can see that changes
take effect because in the xffm diagnostics window you will see:
"SMB_USER changed". If you do not see that message, then the
xfce-mcs-manager has not informed xffm of the change. The format for smb
user is "user%password" or "user%" if no password is required (4_0
branch).
