This seems somewhat sane.  I still think it would be very very easy to
forget that it is there, and bad things happen when you go to a shared
work environment such as a coffee shop or a lan party or something like
that.  It is easy to forget that you have a share open to the whole
world and whatever files you may have placed in there.

How crazy would it be to have a share timeout on this, with a panel icon
to represent whether or not the share is active?  Say set a default
timeout of 1 hour or so?  Then the user would have to click the icon,
and select 're-enable share' for it to be live again.  Of course a
configurable timeout could be used, even (gasp) none.
