gconf on multi-seat

[Yan Seiner <yan seiner com>]

I have a multi-seat setup; two users on the same machine.

The problem is when you plug in an mp3 player or similar, gconf pretty 
much randomly picks which user to give it to and then sets the 
permissions to where only that user can write to it.

I get 755 perms, with uid being the user, gid being root.

What I want is 775 perms with uid being whatever, gid=47 (music on my 
system).

mount -t vfat -o uid=0,gid=47,umask=0002 /dev/sdi disk

work just fine, but any attempt to put gid or umask into gconf results 
in an error and no mount.  The error is pretty useless; a popup window 
that says something like device could not be mounted because of an 
error.  No explanation or detail of the error is given.

What can I do to mount a shared usb device via gconf?
