I haven't done any linux devel before but I am a windows programmer by day.
How hard would it be to fix this bug by allowing samba passwords to be set
in the shared folders box? Would it be a c or a python program or something
else? I have been doing some reading about gtk and glib.
So, in summary I am interested in having a go at fixing this but I would
probably need some help.

When setting up a simple file share you are unable to access the share from a
Windows machine, while the samba server has no password set.
