CD/DVD/USB and mounting...

[Danny]

Which distro and window manager are you using?  I recently switched to  
Gentoo and noticed they've made a push for mounting via ivman/pmount  
for userspace mounting.  This is in constrast to Gnome's own internal  
device management layer 'gnome-volume-manager'.  I don't know if KDE  
does anything special for mounting.
