Sujet: Re: [DNG] A better default windows manager
That's a very gracious offer, Steve, and I'm sure it will be greatly
appreciated. =)

If I might say so, I HATE automount. Click to mount is fine, but
automounting peripheral drives like jump drives, CDs and whatnot is an
inexcusable security risk, in my opinion, even under a UNIX.

Mounting should be restricted to only the most experienced users, never
embedded in the software so every user can across the board. The default
setup on too many Linux machines reminds me of Windows.
