If the user who mounted the share is not logged on anymore.

Because the user is no longer logged in.  The mounts mounted under their home 
directories are of no use to the system or any other user, until they log 
back in.

Uh, but it seems the exact use of Komba, to mount shares under their home 
directories when they need them, and to unmount them when they disconnect.
There is an option to remount shares on logon.

When you mount via Komba, with 50 users mounting 60 shares, we have a lot of 
unused mounts.  In windows, when you disconnect, the smb connections are 
dropped when you disconnect.  So when a user disconects, it should close the 
mount, when they login again, the shares will get remounted.
