[Bug 108214] cannot execute programs/scripts from USB drives

[lavid]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: kubuntu-desktop

1) mount a USB drive that contains an executable script or binary
2) attempt to run/execute that script or binary program
3) cry

It seems that USB drives are not mounted with execute permissions. This
may be intentional, but it's definitely not the expected behavior and
seems to have some very undesirable consequences as myself and many on
the #kubuntu channel have come across this issue and spent a few hours
trying to figure out the cause.

I asked if anyone in #ubuntu was having the same issue and I got no
response, so I assume it's just a kubuntu issue.

** Affects: kubuntu-meta (Ubuntu)
