I agree. If a Desktop application wants to automount devices, it's fine. Of course, it would be nice if the user keeps control over this.
Besides the desktop environment automounting should *not* occur unless configured by the sysadmin.
That way, everybody's happy and the system stays predictable IMHO.
I'm glad to hear that's how the smart guys on Arch feel about it. It has been quite some time since I had a problem with it. It's quite possible that the faded memory was from a time before I tried Arch. It's certain that a similar issue of some pop-up wanting to help me deal with a CD or DVD I'd just inserted, annoyed me far more often than Thane ever did with am inserted sub stick... But that, likewise, hasn't happened in a long time. Guess I was just being nervous about nothing... -- | ~^~ ~^~ | <*> <*> Joe (theWordy) Philbrook | ^ J(tWdy)P | \___/ <<jtwdyp@ttlc.net>>
