> Dolphin can become unresponsive as it is apparently not recognizing a CIFS mount as a remote filesystem.
Yes, that's what happens when you mount a remote network share as a local
directory. This is one of many reasons why doing so is a bad idea.

A better solution is to use the system's built-in features rather than fighting
them. This means:
1. Make sure kio-fuse is installed. If it's not, install it and bug your distro
to install it by default.
2. When you need to access a share, access it in Dolphin using the Network
browser or its URL. If you access the share frequently, make a bookmark using
its URL rather than manually mounting it somewhere.
3. When you want to open a file on the share, do so using Dolphin when dolphin
is showing the share at its remote network path, not a local mount.
4. When you want to open a file on the share from an app that's already open,
use the file dialog and access it from the bookmark you added earlier.

Basically don't fight the system. Then everything should work much better. :)
