Am I the only one mounting e.g. an USB stick by the desktop and then using a terminal emulation?
No... I have never even started my thunar :)
Is /media still needed by anything? If not I would prefer a softlink media -> /run/media.
Your email client is Evolution 3.4.2 which probably means you use gnome3 with gvfs and udisks{,2}. For the rest of us /media is still a valid place to dynamically create mountpoints. For instance, pmount uses only /media.
Hm?
There's no big difference between typing
# ls /run/media/spinymouse/INTENSO
and
# ls /media/spinymouse/INTENSO
I wonder if it's possible to use $HOME for the softlink?
IMO an USB stick etc. should be auto-mounted at /media, I prefer to type /media/INTENSO only. For now I added the softlink media -> /run/media.
Well... First, automounting is a serious security hole. Nothing should be automounted unless explicitly permitted by the user. Second, adding softlinks is not a good idea IMHO because /media belongs to core/filesystem and your modifications will most likely to disappear on update. If you really don't like /run/media -- try bind-mounting it to /media in fstab.
