That's the behaviour I get. 

I first get a list of the available computers and when double-clicking 
over each of them I reach the shared folders... and this has been so 
since I recall :-?

I don't get the point of the article. You can also get the samba shares 
listed and ready to click on Nautilus, on the Desktop...

When using "smb://" you don't "mount" the shares, you "access" the 
shares. And you can bookmark your network shares for an easy access, they 
will appear listed in the left side panel.
