thunar-1.3 and xfce-4.8. I click on network->windows 
network->workgroup->remote computer, there I see the remote folders 
(i.e. samba shares).

I don't want to use any other application for this, thunar should be 
fine. It can list the computer's shares, it just won't open the remote 
folders. This must be a configuration problem, I guess.
