In remote:/ there is an entry titled "Samba Shares"

A new user would have no idea what this means, and would not know to
look there for windows shares.  This should be renamed to something that
is more self explanatory.

Originally reported here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/50264
There are some ideas to rename it to "Network Shares (SMB)" or "Windows Shares (using Samba)".

This could be still valid in KDE4.

Rename 'Samba Shares' to 'Windows Shares (SMB)'

This simply renames 'Samba Shares' to 'Windows Shares (SMB)'
I am open to suggestions for other names.

patch against kde-runtime/kioslave/smb/smb-network.desktop
Not sure how to commit this..

My vote is on "Network Shares (SMB/CIFS)".

- Network shares will be understandable for people coming from a Windows
environment, while specifying the protocols won't piss off those to whom
network sharing is solely nfs.
