You're right. I thought I had commit this code, but it looks like I
forgot. The idea was that when you browsed to a share, and then chose
'Connect to Server' from there it would show you the 'Connect to Server'
dialog with 'Windows Share' all nicely selected and ready for you to
customize, by changing the user name for example. But currently it just
displays an arcane (to the user) URI.

I'll remedy this as soon as I can, after which we'll have a decent UI
for using alternate credentials on SMB shares.

Cheers,
