As requested by Martin, here are the steps to reproduce the regression:

1.Install Ubuntu 8.04.2 on one system.
2. Install the samba package on a second system (virtual machine or otherwise - just make sure it shares a broadcast domain with your hardy desktop test system). Make sure that this host has a different name from the 8.04.2 desktop system.
3. Open the Windows network (Places -> Network).
4. Click on 'Windows Network'.
5. Verify that 'WORKGROUP' is displayed.
6. Click on 'WORKGROUP' and verify that the samba server is shown.
7. Install gvfs and gvfs-backends from http://ppa.launchpad.net/vorlon/ppa/ubuntu on the 8.04.2 system.
8. Log out of the system and log back in.
9. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
10. Verify that 'WORKGROUP' is *not* displayed.
11. Manually open a nautilus window to 'smb://WORKGROUP'. Verify that you are prompted for a password.
12. Debug
13. Profit!

I unfortunately haven't been able to run this test case myself because I don't have a hardy desktop to run it from; if any of this doesn't work as described, please shout.
