Ok. The feature is now working. For smbfs listed in fstab, a
user/password dialog will pop up. If the smb server does not need any
user/password, just press the cancel. Otherwise enter the information.

Also, you can now mount smb shares, not listed in fstab, to a temporary
mount point. just browse to the share and double click on it or select
"mount" from popup. To unmount use the popup as well.
