Sorry, does not work. Or more exactly: - _if_ the server is online at boot, it works (because your settings don't include the noauto I guess) - but if the server is off line, and is started later, then you can't mount over a FolderView icon, you get the usual "Could not mount device. the reported error was: mount: only root can do that" > Don't forget, too, that you need to check that your credentials are ok - > that you belong at least to the group of the remote ownership.

With both settings, I can mount from the command line as user (mount /mountname). So this is a GUi problem, a KDE problem, it is registered as a bug and has not yet) been corrected.
