Bug Description

Steps to reproduce:

right click on any folder, choose properties, tab "Share".
enable "Share this folder" -> samba gets installed if it is not.
under "Share name" delete the given name -> the field becomes RED and there is a message displayed "The share name cannot be empty"

ok. Now start typing a new name

-> expected behaviour: with the first letter the background should become white agani and the warning message should go away.
-> what is fact: the red background stays DESPITE the name is given.
Screenshot included.

It works when you click on "Modify Share" - but even confused ME as an experienced Ubuntu user - I don't know what my mom would do then... ;-)

As tip - when starting to enter letters in the field, the program should additionally check if there is already a share with this name - and then show a warning and the red background...

Same behaviour here. Also, my name was too long, but that warning did not change until it became "The share name cannot be empty" when the field became empty.
