I installed libpam-smbpass and sharing from the desktop worked and then removed it again, and sharing folders from ext3 filesystems works fine. What i failed to realise before was that i was trying to share folders from a fat32 system, which the installation of libpam-smbpass did not fix. So, the bug, as experienced by me, is now "Nautilus Sharing options requires root password on fat32 filesystems, but does not ask". My apologies for not realising this before.
