konqueror unresponsive when samba 'device' goes away

When a samba mounted MS-windows partition is powered down
or unplugged, Konqueror becomes unresponsive. The window is just white
and tan coloured; nothing in it, and therefore no buttons to press.

I use linneighborhood to mount the windows drives, or
just a script such as:
smbmount //G7/c /mydata/mn/G7/c/ -o username=d7%*,fmask=644,
dmask=755,uid=500,gid=100,debug=0,workgroup=*

I can't unmount the share. I get message: device or resource busy.
root@redd0:/home/dg# umount /mydata/mn/D8/m/
umount: /mydata/mn/D8/m: device is busy
root@redd0:/home/dg#

It seems like if it is left alone for a minute sometimes it will
respond later. But, this is not very helpful.

It would be nice of konq was useable except for the item
that has gone away. Any suggestions?

Lately I have been using the following command:
umount -lf /mydata/mn/D8/m/
which does a lazy unmount. This requires root.
I wish it didn't require root.
Any suggestions?

I can just confirm this behavior, the best way to get this fixed is to file a bug at http://bugs.kde.org. Did a quick search and didn't find any open bug regarding this. Otherwise maybe automount can fix this?

Thanks for the reply. I feel like I am one of very few that are concerned about this behavior.
