gnome-mount woes

I've been thinking about some additions in this area, making automatic 
mounting more customizable. Our experience so far has shown that "expert 
users" are usually more finicky and need more control, like being able 
to specify alternate mount root (e.g. $HOME/mnt), mount point 
permissions, add mount options, lowercase the mount point name ("so it 
doesn't scream at me" :). Basically adding some more gconf keys. I'll 
try to put together a proposal soon and send it here and to utopia-list.
