I don't tihnk any of these tools are used for "Remote Access". I think there should be a new menu category for "Local Network" or something, where LinNeighborhood, Komba2 etc can go. Maybe even call it "Windows Networking". Really, putting these tools under "Remote Access" or "Other" is just confusing ... Of course, I think they are the wrong approach, I think both KDE and Gnome need VFS/kio modules that support smbfs/smbmount'ing instead of using smbclient-based tools such as kio_smb and the smb VFS module for Gnome. WINS support in kio_lan would also be great ...
