Thanks, that's all more-or-less how I had it before I switched PCs, I've now replicated your config as it was easier than digging out my old config.
I don't recall now why I messed around wth unmounting the shares on network down, but I'm almost certain it was because when I didn't (ie the config I have now) that's when it locked up on shutdown, and unmounting them fixed that, although not reliably.
But I've just shut the PC down without issues so maybe it's no longer an issue. The old PC was also on 12.10, but Ubuntu not Kubuntu so there may be a difference there. I switched to Kubuntu because despite my best efforts to get along with Unity I gave up because too many things just didn't work correctly, so maybe I'll just add this to the list!
(To be fair, Gnome would at least allow me to open a document across a Windows share and save it again without problems, with KDE it does seem that CIFS is pretty much essential to make life easy.)
