That guy also wrote spacefm. It's a file manager which allows you to either
manually or automatically mount USB devices. It can be configured to use
udevil, pmount, udisks1, or udisks2 to perform that function.

Spacefm is currently unsupported by the developer.

In the past I've used pcmanfm to perform this function, but on Jessie, it
seems to require systemd stuff in order to handle mounting.
