Good stuff. I've hacked up the first incarnation of gnome-mount here

 http://freedesktop.org/~david/gnome-mount-0.1.tar.gz

Patches welcome - I do plan to hack a bit on it so maybe we should put
it in CVS or I should setup a mercurial repo. I'm busy right now.

Other stuff/comments

 1. I've added a "dry-run" option to Mount()

 2. Unmount() doesn't rmdir the entry in /media, yes?

 3. We need a callout or method for cleaning all inactive entries
    in /media when starting up

 4. Need to put the selinux options stuff if applicable

 5. Need some way to figure out what mount options is available so
    we can generate some reasonable GUI? Just a method call?

Cheers,
David
