SUMMARY

Trying to explore smb shares with dolphin (and kio) invariably results in a
message that the folder does not exist, unless you had previously set a default
user and password from the settings in Settings->Network->Window shares.

This is not sensible and represents a regression with respect to previous times
when dolphin was asking for a username and password when needed to open smb
shares.

Even worse, this makes no sense when the URL passed to dolphin *contains* the
username.

Even even worse, when you have a desktop link for the share and you click on
it, if the default username/password is not set in settings for the Window
shares, nothing happens and you get zero feedback on what had gone wrong.

I have managed finding my way in this issue thanks to

that documents the problem.
