It wasn't exactly a crash. It was smbclient asking for a password on
stdin. I've fixed xffm so that if no password is specified through the
mcs-plugin, then no password will be required through stdin.

A current problem with X is that if the application was not started in a
terminal, and input is required from stdin, X does not know how to
handle it and hangs (that's why you had to kill your X-session to get
out of the loop). I don't know if a bug workaround through the window
manager is possible, but my guess is no.

I've also added distinct icons for mounted/unmounted fstab elements and
menu elements to activate or hide top level branches, so there's more to
be had from current CVS.
