[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#572846: [smb4k] cannot mount as non-root anymore

[CSights]

Package: smb4k
Version: 0.10.4-1
Severity: normal

Hi,
	I am unable to mount shares as a non-root user anymore.  This is because 
mount.cifs and mount.smbfs no longer are setuid as of smbfs=2:3.4.5~dfsg-2 .  
I opened a bug #572838 with "samba", but they closed it telling me that this 
is intentional:

smbfs (2:3.4.5~dfsg-2) unstable; urgency=low

  * As of this version, the mount.cifs binary is no longer setuid.
    Upstream has always been increasingly unsupportive of this
    configuration over time. For instance, in bugs like
    https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6853, it is clearly
    mentioned that having it setuid root is discouraged.

Any work-arounds?  Run smb4k as root?  Maybe some kind of policykit thing-of-
a-ma-bob?  Thanks!

	C.
