We have a similar problem.  We used gollem with smb backend.  If users
only have one samba share then there is no login box.  Some of our users
get more than one share.  In that case the login box appears if you
click on the File Manager menu option.  If you click on each share they
are already authenticated.  It is just an annoyance for us.
