Hi Aruna;

That was quite interesting, thanks. If you happen to see which DEs support a
context-menu, or similarly quick option for mounting samba shares during the
course of your investigations, could you share that info as well? Unity seems
to be getting worse and not better with each Ubuntu point release on my Precise
installs, breaking compositing across various kinds of hardware and I'm in a
holding pattern with Unity 2D until I can find a better replacement (ideally,
a DE with semantic search as well). I tried Cinnamon, but one disadvantage that
I saw was no quick native way to mount my shares.

Thanks;
