Applications that depend on KDE libs/framework, suffer from freezes during
fileactivity when sharing directories and a Samba server is running.

During those freezes the network interface is flooded with DNS requests trying
to resolve the hostname of the system.

How to reproduce:

In Yast2, enable/setup a Samba server. Startup -> During Boot. Shares ->
Disable all available shares. Check Allow Users to Share Directories. Check
Allow Guest Access.

In Dolphin, select a couple of directories to share. Rightclick on it and
select Properties -> Share. Check Share with Samba. Check Allow Guests.

Reboot.

Start Wireshark and filter on DNS packets only.

Start a couple of KDE-libs dependent applications like Kate (preferably with th
filesystem browser plugin activated), Okular, Dolphin, and perform some file
manipulations (copy/edit/save).

Look what happens in Wireshark.

A temporary workaround is to open Yast2 -> System -> Network Settings ->
Hostname/DNS and check Assign Hostname to Loopback IP.
It will make the desktop usable again but still not snappy.
For a snappy KDE experience, you can't share directories using the above setup.

What did I expect: to have a snappy/responsive desktop when sharing directories
using a Samba server.

Here's some output of Wireshark:
