--- Comment #4 from Nate Graham <nate at kde.org> ---
Found the problem. If you have the correct packages for a running Samba server
(which kdenetwork-filesharing takes care of), but that Samba server doesn't
actually have any users set up on it, then the new share isn't actually enabled
at all. SO the next time you open the dialog, it correctly notices that there
isn't a share set up. From the user perspective, it looks like the share was
enabled, but turned itself off. What was really going on was that it was never
actually enabled in the first place, but the setup GUI didn't handle that error
properly and tell the user that something had gone wrong.

The dialog should handle this condition as well. Duping this to the bug that
tracks that.
