Switch user incompatible with automatic mounting of media?



In any case, it seems that significant effort has been put into coding
these options to make the system more user friendly, and to simply
disable them is undesirable.

Is there another solution?  I'd like to know.

If not, here is a suggestion: ---------------

Modify these options so that they are only acted on by an instance of
GDM  IF it is the instance that is active (i.e. visible on the screen)
AND the screen is not locked.  This would eliminate the ambiguity.  The
user who is actually using the system would own the mounted volume, and
would be the only user to see it.


There is a further complication in the case of my system:

This system has two seats.  In addition to the seat described above,
there is a second seat which could have any of the users logged in.

To avoid ambiguity in that situation, an additional condition could be
added, i.e. that if there is more than one active screen that is not
locked, then no action would be taken.

A complete way of dealing with a multi-seat system is probably another
project - e.g. could some devices/USB ports "belong" to one  seat, and
some be shared?
