I believe that such things are detected by hal and the actual mount is done by gnome-volume-manager which then launches nautilus. /etc/fstab is not involved at all in this. It seems to be that Gnome at least wants you to use fstab for permanent mounts only, and bits of Gnome for everything else -- Alan McKinnon alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
