     No. Sorry because it was confusing. I wrote a wrapper program which 
has exactly the same calling syntax as pkexec and executes udevil if the 
command is mount or umount, and otherwise invokes sudo -A. I have 
checked that this program works -- from the command line for 
mount/umount, and by clicking the synaptic launcher. The problem is that 
Thunar doesn't invoke pkexec to mount/umount removable media; therefore 
my  wrapper is of limited use. It is usefull only for applications which 
invoke pkexec, like Synaptic's launcher, and it implies to install 
non-packaged software in /usr/local/bin.


     Since Enrico suggested to patch (eg) Thunar it makes little sense 
to modify it to invoke a wrapper rather than udevil right away. This was 
the message of my previous mail.
