In the KDE setup pages, there are pages for both Samba and "File Sharing".  
Please look through the Intenet/Network setup pages for Ubuntu and make sure 
you have visited and filled in the basic Samba settings (enable, workgroup, 
create a share).

I did those steps first thing with my system, so for instance, the sharing tab 
may only come into existence when it's enabled by that underlying setup.

Let us know what you find.
