     I think that's exactly the thing which is needed: a tool dedicated 
to mount/umount removable medias on dynamically created/deleted 
mountpoints in /media, and nothing else. And this tool can be put in 
/usr/bin. sudo is fine to invoke it from the command line, but I'm not 
sure how to do when it is invoked from a mouse-click, unless the line in 
the sudoers file contains NOPASSWD. Of course this all is meant for a 
personal computer, not for a server; anyway it's useless on a server.
