Hi - from the above post, I gather you are using Gnome.  I'm using KDE 
w/SuSE 8.0, and there is an app called LinNeighborhood, which is just 
like Windows' Network Neighborhood.  You have to be able to sign on as 
root (maybe it can be configured otherwise, I haven't really played 
with it), but it does work very well.  Don't know if its window mgr. 
specific.

HTH & Cheers,
