Hello,

I am using my computer on quite big dorm network. After upgrading to kde 4.6b1 in Kubuntu, all the windows shares of other computers show up in Dolphin (and also Open/Save dialogs, etc), which causes the system to be quite slow in certain situations. If I enable automount, all these folders also appear in Device notifier as Storage Access and every time somebody turns on his pc, a notification pops-up, which is really annoying.

Is there any way to disable showing these windows shares (and also to disable scanning for them)

I thought that removing samba would help somehow, but in Kubuntu, Kde-workspace depends on samba-common, so I can not remove it.

Thanks...

Can you go into the network kio slave and remove them there?

First of all, I see only a few computers in network:/ kioslave and when I try to remove them (either by hitting shift+del or from the menu), nothing happens...

Does this large list appear under a new user?

Yes, it does.

I reverted to kde 4.5.4 on my main machine, because many kde applications restart regularly without any user interaction (kate, krusader, knotify, plasma...) I love the new Kate document side-panel feature, but it is not usable for me now...

However, I tried to install Kubuntu 10.10 + Kde 4.6b1 packages in VirtualBox and the problem is still there, even for a clean system and new user (illustration). The taskbar notification showing up every minute is very disturbing...

It's also annoying me. I created a bug report https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=259377. You can vote for it.
