pcmanfm does this as well, though it relies on udisks2 and that now requires
systemd (on Debian, anyway). I believe Thunar had very similar functionality.
spacefm, as some have mentioned here, also has this functionality but it allows
the use of different backends for performing the mounts. As I recall, the
choices were pmount, udevil, udisks, udisks2, and possibly others.
