remote shares on desktop freezes computer

[Dirk Gajewski <gajewski@dkrz.de>]

Hi, 

I am using Karolina's excellent kde3.1 packages. Since the installation 
remote shares do automatically appear on my desktop. So far I have not 
found a way to get rid of them. This, however, is a minor problem. If 
one of the shares is not available (e.g., the computer hosting the 
share is down or broken network connection) my system freezes and I 
have to make a reset. Has anybody else observed this problem? Has it 
something to do with the shares on the desktop?

I would appreciate any help, because it is really anoying if the system 
freezes.
