It certainly makes sense. One question, why do you say SMB_USER should
not be saved? Isn't it highly likely that the user will want to use that
again? Also, values that are not saved should IMO not be in the settings
dialog at all, you should prompt for them when first needed and save
them in memory for the duration of one session.
