Since gnome-volume-manager/pmount-hal use these properties, too, I
would miss them a bit (they are not strictly limited to fstab-sync).

I agree that using gconf is totally preferable for Gnome. However,
removing these properties would remove the possibility of altering
mount policy for other desktop environments (e. g. XFCE with ivman).

From my POV it would be preferable to ignore these properties in
gnome-mount (or, rather, let the gconf settings override the hald
ones), but leave them in the hal spec, so that alternative daemons
like ivman and KDE's kioslaves stick to a common standard.

But yay for removing fstab-sync. :)

Thanks,

Martin
