It's not about what's the best tool: it's a desktop polish test case.
The point is to answer the question 'does this fairly commonly used
function work right out of the box?' So testing with smb4k would be
outside the scope of this test.

What would make sense would be to write a separate test for smb4k. Or,
heck, a whole set of test cases! We've been wanting to have more test
cases for more applications for a long time. But it wouldn't make sense
as a 'desktop validation' test unless smb4k comes installed out of the
box and Fedora users are all used to using that, not Dolphin, to browse
SMB shares.

If you do write one or more test cases for smb4k, add this to the
bottom:

[[Category:Package_smb4k_test_cases]]

and then when you send out an update for the smb4k package, the test
cases will be listed in Bodhi as good tests to run to test the
update. :)

It's broken at a much lower level, it's something firewalld is doing
wrong I believe.
