does not. ACtually, the : before the /<directory> gets removed

Ha! Yes they do but:

- using konqueror as user when clicking the link, nothing visible happen, but 
the shares does mount. The same link in Storage Media however can't umount.

- using konqueror as root ("FileManager - Super User Mode") it works, 
or rather "sort of". I can mount, then umount, then it stops working.
Testing further I discovered that I could again mount from konqueror-user, and 
that in turn made konqueror-root able to umount one of the shares (but not 
the other). At that point both links on the desktop showed "not mounted" 
while the shaers where mounted...

I can mention also that the links on the desktop change icon depending on 
mounted/umounted. Well, they seem to get confused when I use konqueror, 
showing "mounted" only when the pointer is over them, or showing mounted when 
umounted.
