Description of Problem: If you right click on the GNOME panel, and go through the menus of Add item, you'll find an entry for Samba Configuration.
I only find this if I go to "Launcher from menu". Could you be more specific in the path you take to select "Samba Configuration"?
To find the dangling menu entry: 1. Right click on the panel. 2. Launcher from menu 3. Extras 4. Server Settings (will be empty (should it be deleted?) when this is fixed) 5. Samba Configuration (has no icon)
This isn't the menu item for redhat-config-samba. It is for swat.
