I'm using gnome, not KDE, but; in a similar way, using Nautilus, if I
browse the network and then click the share I want to mount I'll be
prompted for the login credentials. I'll also have the option to save
the password permanently in the gnome-keyring. Then I can simply say
"Add Bookmark" and viola! it appears on the left side of Nautilus.

You can also drag-and-drop a share or link onto the desktop and because
the key-ring has the login info there are no passwords.
