    I wrote a graphical mounter which depends only on GTK+-2, and Linux
kernel version higher than 2.6.something - I don't rember at the moment.
It also depends, obviously, on the presence of a C library. It's called
"hopman" and was announced on this list. I found a bug about 1 year ago:
it happens to consume 100% of a cpu when a loop device is created. I
didn't take the time to debug it because I feel tired - I'm 70 and have
several few other concerns. I started to internationalize it but didn't
find a satisfactory way to manage the internationalization files and
integrate them to the build process. For all these reasons, it hasn't
been debianized.

  As it is, it is the only tool I use to mount USB sticks. It gives me
full satisfaction on everyday use, and I think this is the one Steve uses.

   It is based on inotify watching /dev and /dev/disk/by-label, and a
custom recursive function designed to browse /sys.
