(Oh, there's a new mailing list!) Hi Martin, this sounds great! I assume it's both the desktop and gtk's filechooser that are affected? Could this be extended so that usermounted fuse mounts show up there also? If I mount an ISO with fuse-iso somewhere in my home directory for example.

So far those were not displayed at all on the desktop and it required some command line runes or things like disks-admin (which disappeared from Edgy) to use fixed hard disk partitions. With today's upload of gnome-mount_0.5 2ubuntu3 and last week's upload of hal 0.5.8.1-3ubuntu6 , you will now get icons for hard disk partitions which are *not* automatically mounted from fstab, and can mount them the usual way from the context menu, diskmounter applet, etc. gksu verifies that you are an admin and gets the necessary root privilege for the mounting. If you are not in the 'admin' group, then you cannot mount local hard disks. Known caveats: - The diskmounter applet wants to eject fixed hard disks and gives an empty error dialog (unomunting works, though). I'll fix that soon. - Non-admins will see icons for fixed hard disk partitions, too, although they cannot mount them. This is because the visibility of those are determined by hal, so they are global. If it's too annoying, I can patch gnome-vfs to hide them for non-admins I welcome any testing feedback (to ubuntu-devel-discuss@ or as bug reports against gnome-mount or hal).
