           Summary: Devices should be automounted for only the active
                    session
           Product: Ubuntu
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: UNKNOWN
        AssignedTo: debzilla at ubuntu.com
        ReportedBy: david-ubuntu at bluehaze.org
         QAContact: kubuntu-bugs at lists.ubuntu.com


When several users are logged in (to KDE) on different x sessions (F7, F8, ...), and a device like a usb memory stick is 
plugged into the computer, all sessions try to mount the device automatically. This leads to two problems: 
 
* When switching to another session after using a device, there are now lots of konqueror windows open at the device 
address (media:/blah), cluttering up the desktop. 
* It is by luck whether the session that you are currently using gets to mount the device first. If a different session 
mounts it first, then as a different user has mounted it, you cannot unmount it from your own session. 
 
Resolution: Device automounting should only be attempted when the X session has focus.
