Better (windows) partition interaction



Today I had to poke around with /etc/fstab on my brother's computer to
get his windows partitions mounted with the "user" attribute. This is
just a no-no for the mass market. The reality is that according to
google many users dual-boot and encounter this issue, even if some
distro installers take care of adding fstab entries along the line, this
won't work after repartitioning. In short: Doing partition detection
statically sucks for home computers.

How feasible is it to add code to make extra partitions that are not in
the fstab user-mountable, probably through hal, and expose them in
"computer:///"?
