Just found out gnome volume manager have a option to enable an auto-run
'feature' :-(
This is crasy, I don't have cyborg ability enuf to audit a disc or other
media before I insert it. This is a severe security bug! Do KDE have it too?
I sugest a auto-open standard insted.
A plain file listing files that shuld open (path relative the root of
the media).
Then the desktop environment can determen if it is a safe type with a
safe viewer before opening it.
If it open a html page that give the disc producer a possablility to
track wher the disc travel. I can live with that, but not with the
ability to run arbritary code!
