Ok, so what is the problem if KDE supports FUSE in Linux and doesn't do it in 
other operating systems?

In my opinion the "no-go" is when a user open a ODT document via smb kioslave 
and after modify it he can't save the document in the server. In fact he must 
save it in his home and move to the server manually and replace the old one.

This is terrible, and it's not just a problem with Samba, but with any 
kioslave.


In my office the secretary uses Kubuntu and needs to use OpenOffice to 
management ODT shared documents in a Linux server. She is very frustrating 
with the idea of saving the ODT in the local disk and moving it manually to 
the server.

The solution was creating a SMB mount point in the fstab, but of course, she 
couldn't do it, I did it, but a common user can't do it. So 
Linux/KDE/OpenOffice doesn't offer still a good and integrated system to 
common users if there is not a Linux administrator.

I'd like to use Koffice instead of OpenOffice, but the secreary know using 
OpenOffice because she used it in Windows.

Note that many apps are not KDE, and they will never support kioslaves, so we 
have a REAL problem. It's not a fault of KDE, maybe, but the problem exists, 
and FUSE could be a solution for this real problem, isn't it?. Why don't 
support it?
