[kde-linux] (zeroconf) Seeing files shared from an Apple computer

I enabled "Personal File Sharing" on an iMac laptop on my LAN, but can't
seem to see the files from KDE. I have a pretty full installation of
KDE including kdnssd (4:3.5.5-5 on Debian/testing), and I have avahi and
friends installed (but dbus is not enabled for avahi).
avahi-browse does show the service: it lists the name of the
workstation and "Apple File Sharing" along with a number of other
services.
However, when I browse in Konqueror (via zeroconf:/), "shared desktops"
and "Remote shell (ssh)" are the only entries. Clicking on "shared
desktops" launches a remote desktop (RDP) app, and the connection
then fails ("the connection to the host has been interrupted").
I have also looked in othe network spots in Konqueror, without luck. I
was able to transfer the files using rsync (i.e., ssh).
Is there a way to get zeroconf file sharing to work? Is that feature
simply missing from the current implementation?
Thanks.
Ross
P.S. The laptop connects to my LAN via a wireless access point.
