In all due respect, you are not the average user that I hope that an
accessible and
useable desktop linux environent will appeal to.  If a user has a desktop,
it
is only logical that mounted volumes should appear on it regardless of the
method the mount occurs.

The real issue is how we should respond to the automounter, not to mount
invocations from the terminal
or desktop context click.  The suggested 5-10 second update delay in this
instance is flawed.
