Dolphin usershares broken out of the box
Dolphin's samba usershares integration does not work out of the box:
```
This folder can't be shared because '/var/lib/samba/usershares' does not exist.
This error is caused by your distribution not setting up Samba sharing
properly. You can fix it yourself by creating that folder manually. Then close
and re-open this window.
```
This is misleading and users would probably look up the internet for
workarounds or hacks (that are likely not even written for openSUSE), when in
fact it can be enabled graphically in YaST2 -> Samba Server -> Allow Users to
Share their Directories. The error message should be changed to reflect the
existence of YaST2 and better yet, add a button to directly open YaST2 Samba
Server.
